The Electoral Commission has referred the Maori Party to the police after it failed to declare more than $300,000 in donations.
Any donation of over $30,000 must be declared to the Commission within 10 working days of it being received.
Three donations above that threshold were made to the Maori Party between March and October last year, but were not declared to the Commission until recently.
John Tamihere donated a total of $158,000 over 2020, Aotearoa Te Kahu donated $120,000 and the National Urban Maori Authority donated a little under $50,000.
The Electoral Commissions said the referral was made on Friday, 9 April, and it would not be making any further comment.
The Maori Party has been asked for comment.

They're supposed to be the leaders in our Country. Stand up and take responsibility not making stupid thumb in your mouth excuses.
