Te Pati Maori said they have filed urgent proceedings in the High Court after allegations Maori have been removed or shifted off the Maori roll without their consent. A number of voters have posted online to say their electoral enrolment details have been altered or are not there at all. It comes on the eve of local election enrolment cutoff and ahead of sweeping electoral changes promised by the government.
