The Place has been standardized as Myanmar instead of New Zealand in records
"New Zealand, Electoral Rolls,1865-1957", database.
The event place has been recorded as Hawke's Bay, North Island, Myanmar.
It should be Hawke's Bay, North Island, New Zealand.
All the places data in this New Zealand, Electoral Rolls need correction.

Does anyone knows who can help to correct these errors?

Unfortunately, the placename algorithm has wreaked havoc on many (most?) places in FamilySearch records. We can no longer rely on the place shown in an index or search results.
Until recently, there was a mechanism for reporting, but we have been told that the team doing the corrections has sufficient information, and we no longer need to report. I have not seen any improvement.

This is a follow up from the question I've asked about a week ago:
Thanks to your help, most of the places error that was recorded as Myanmar was corrected as New Zealand. However, we are still seeing some records, on thumbnail, that are showing Events place as
Myanmar. It should be New Zealand. I believe many of the records are still affected by this place error in this collection. Could someone help us to correct this place error?Thank you.

Such repairs are not instant or even quick. It may be months or years if these errors are corrected. Similar ones I reported more than 2 years ago have not yet been repaired.
