New Zealand flag referendums, 2015–16

New Zealanders have begun a final vote on whether to change their flag from a design which features the British Union Jack to one which features a native silver fern.

A postal ballot began March 3 and will extend over the next three weeks, with preliminary results to be announced March 24.

New Zealanders began voting Nov. 19 to select a potential new flag, part of a controversial push for the South Pacific country to drop Britain's Union Jack from its national banner.
