A suite of new voting rules has passed its first reading in the House - 68 to 54.
Changes include moves to ban same-day enrolment.
Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says the bill overhauls outdated and unsustainable electoral laws.
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says there'll be plenty of advertising ahead of the next election - and people shouldn't be enrolling to vote on the day.
