New Zealand has two separate electoral rolls: the General Roll and the Maori Roll. In New Zealand every citizen over the age of 18 is legally required to be registered on an electoral roll. The general Roll is open to all New Zealanders and the Maori Roll is open to Maori only. Maori can choose either the Maori or General Roll and the numbers on the Maori Roll determine the number of Maori electorates that the country is divided into. Currently there are seven Maori electorates so there is a guarantee that there will be at least seven Maori representatives in the New Zealand Parliament. Maori candidates are free to stand in either general or Maori electorates but only Maori can stand in Maori electorates.
To ensure that Maori have representation in the New Zealand Parliament.
People on the maori roll vote in their maori electorate. People on the general roll vote in the general electorate. Just like voters on the general roll cannot vote in the maori electorate, voters on the maori roll cannot vote in the general electorate. There's nothing special - still two votes, one for the party, one for the person. The only thing that differs is the electorate they are voting in.
