Prime Minister Burnham is set to contest the next election on a pledge to change the voting system, putting electoral reform at the centre of his political platform.
He has also called on other political parties to take part in a national commission examining possible changes to the electoral system. The proposed commission would provide a forum for parties to participate in discussions about reform.
The plans place the voting system among the issues Burnham intends to campaign on at the next election. No further details about the proposed changes or the timetable for the commission were provided in the available material.
