So confused thought the idea of was a process of elimination not creating more choices. Does this mean a new poll with best of five winning now? |

The daft Game continues. Govt ad campaign to remind people that they should receive voting papers.. but they are not due until 20November.. so IMO the ads are premature As discussed.. a silly "ranking" vote 1 -5 (most - least favored) |

Is the flag poll is separate from other ballot processes? Did the fifth option cause them to reprint the ballots being mailed? An AD campaign 30 days before the vote seems reasonable especially if it's a separate process because people have a way of ditching govt info mailings. |

My theory is its best to keep elections and referendums SECRET from stupid people. If they are so stupid as to not know about the Flag debate.. then as uninformed morons it's best they dont vote!! Gnomesayin?

Ideally they knew before ballot showed up in mail or advertisements to give it a bit of thought and consideration before speaking via casting their poll choice. Reality is that many cast their votes without a moments consideration before the deed. |

PC gone wild!!  And... I just noticed.. No Bahasa Melayu (or Indonesian, which is similar) ALL joking aside.. IF the powers that be want to PANDER to (non-existent) minorities.. then why NOT Malaysian? I KNOW there are Malay (and Singapore) born people living in NZ. As far back as the 60's when I was in school we had Malaysian (and Singaporean) exchange school kids.. and I met several Malay (and Singaporean) students studying at Auckland University. A close friend of mine MARRIED a Malaysian girl and I mixed socially with her and her friends in NZ. |

As I predicted ......:cool The vote count/analysis was a farce... the choice that gained most votes WAS the one I picked (the one with no black in it) but the idiots in charge of voting went on to analyze people's second, third, forth and fifth choice before selecting what they decreed "the winner"... This is ridiculous.. as anybody with half an idea of statistical analysis will tell you... any competent psychology student studying experimental design and analysis would see the flaw. As I pointed out with the example of color choice resulting in "yellow" as a winner.. even though NOBODY picked it as first choice... we now have the equivalent of a "yellow" choice... a flag that was NOT the first choice of the majority... just a flag that a lot of people had as second, 3rd or 4th or even 5th choice... Rumpole's tip: "NEVER give people opportunity to pick a second, third 4th or 5th alternative." |

TIME TO VOTE  Postal Referendum My Wife and I BOTH voted to KEEP THE OLD FLAG Voting closes 24th March..... Results? some time after that What a complete farce.....  Quote: Results and implications
The results of both referendums will be binding, meaning the flag with the most votes in the second referendum will be the official flag of New Zealand. In the unlikely event of a tied vote, an assumption for the status quo will apply and the current flag will prevail. If a new flag design is chosen, assuming no intellectual property issues and the referendum's results are not ruled void, the Flags, Emblems and Names Protection Act 1981 would be updated to reflect the new design six months to the day after the second referendum results are declared (or earlier by Order in Council). The current flag would remain the official flag until then; for example, the current flag would be flown during the 2016 Summer Olympics, four months after the second referendum is planned to take place, regardless of the results of the second referendum. This result would not change the coat of arms (which includes the current national flag), national Maori flag, nor the flags of Associated States (Cook Islands and Niue), nor the New Zealand Red Ensign (merchant marine), White Ensign (naval), police flag and fire service flag (which are based on the current flag). It would also not change New Zealand's status as a constitutional monarchy in the Commonwealth of Nations. |

Protester's attempt to sell flag referendum vote on Trade Me fails Last updated 21:33, March 5 201 A Trade Me user who was disgruntled with the flag referendum tried selling their vote.
"The winning bidder will decide which flag I vote for." The seller said auction profit would go to a charity that could have benefited "from the money needlessly spent on the Flag Consideration Project". In response to a question on the site about the auction's legality, the seller responded by asking how "collecting money for charity" could be illegal. Come Friday evening, the ad was gone, with a message saying an "administrator" had withdrawn it. Trade Me spokesman Paul Ford said the "protest listing" had attracted members' complaints "pretty quickly". "Once it was drawn to our attention, our Policing team removed it from Trade Me. ...more at link http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7757768 ... e-me-fails |
