The Constitutional Advisory Panel has extended the deadline to the end of July for people to make submissions on a constitutional review.
Co-chair Sir Tipene O'Regan said the additional month will give people time to consider the issues and organisations more time to consult their members.
Sir Tipene said it has also become clear to the panel that time is needed to raise public awareness.
So far the panel has received more than 1500 submissions.
More information about the review is available at www.ourconstitution.org.nz.
