Under section 7 of the Citizens Initiated Referenda Act 1993, I give notice that I have received from Mathew Bouma a proposal to promote an indicative referendum petition.

The wording of the question proposed to be put to voters in an indicative referendum is:

“Should New Zealand decriminalize the possession of Cannabis for personal use?”

Comment is invited on this wording. Anyone wishing to comment must send three written copies to:

The Clerk of the House of Representatives, Parliament House, Parliament Buildings, Wellington

by 5.00pm on Monday 1 February 2021.

Dated at Wellington this 23rd day of November 2020.

DAVID WILSON, Clerk of the House of Representatives.
