What is the percentage of votes required?

3.  What is the percentage of votes required? For example if there are 1000 people on register, how many need to vote?

Trust Board Reply:

The Iwi should decide these matters, by proposing ideas at the Consultation Hui, which can be ratified in a vote taken by all registrants prior to the Deed of Settlement. Issues to be considered include:

Whether the ‘majority’ includes all those who are registered, or only those who vote
Simple Majority:         51%
Significant Majority    75%
