New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990

The New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (sometimes known by the acronym NZBORA or simply BORA) is a statute of the Parliament of New Zealand and part of New Zealand's uncodified constitution that sets out the rights and fundamental freedoms of anyone subject to New Zealand law as a bill of rights. It imposes a legal requirement on the attorney-general to provide a report to parliament whenever a bill is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights.

The High Court of New Zealand in Taylor v Attorney-General issued an unprecedented declaration that the restriction on prisoners' voting rights was a limit on their right to vote in periodic elections and that it had not been justified under the Bill of Rights. On appeal, the Supreme Court confirmed that senior courts had jurisdiction to make such a declaration, and in 2022 a law was passed to establish procedures to require the New Zealand Government a reporting and response mechanism to inconsistency declarations.
