Elections and Parliament

This week in class we have been learning about Elections and Parliament. Here are some of the things I have learned:

• You have to be over 18 to vote.
• A general election is held every 3 years.
• Only New Zealand citizens and permanent residents can vote for their favourite candidate.
•  The first elections for Maori members of parliament were held in 1868
• New Zealand's head of state is called the Sovereign.

That's basically some of the things I've learned but I'm going to learn more.
