🤯 "Offshore voter enrolments are rising – currently 104,164 – up a whopping 60% compared to the same point in the 2023 election cycle, according to the latest electoral commission data." LET'S GOOOOOO. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

A tight election looms in New Zealand. This time, overseas voters could be bad news for the big parties
More than 100,000 have enrolled to vote from abroad in the November poll, and many are unhappy with how things look back home

It's critical to remember we have NO civics education in New Zealand. Ppl do not necessarily know how MMP works, how a coalition works, or how to best make their vote reflect their values The more you can make talking about politics normal and chill, the more ppl feel they're allowed to be curious

There's 1 month left until Voter Enrolments close. Landlords, lobbyists, bot farmers, anti-vaxxers, real estate agents, and CEOs have enrolled to vote. But have your family, whānau, friends, colleagues, flatmates, or peers enrolled to vote? It's easy to enroll at vote.nz/enrolling #nzpol

I've been again exploring ways to make public information and data a bit more accessible. Enrolment and turnout is a big issue this election and a lot of organisations have been working to get as many people enrolled as possible. #nzpol So we made: vote.inzight.co.nz

In this deeply uninspiring election, why not back an idea so crazy it just might work?
It’s a truth that’s been universally, repeatedly, and loudly acknowledged that this is a deeply, uninspiring election, writes Verity Johnson.

Pro tip to any other political parties - you too can grow a spine at any point in time and choose to do something about the very real issues facing our country. It can be actually quite popular too.

"New Zealand is spending $billions in interest and debt, so we can't afford [better things]" A long-used narrative to justify austerity when Aotearoa's public institutions are nowhere 'bankrupt'. We can spend more on better healthcare. We can lower power & grocery bills for everyone. #nzpol

Kia ora! I got a call from Curia Research this week, and I thought the polling script would be of interest. As is customary, it appears to reflect a mix of public and private polling purposes. Some questions seem targeted for potential campaign rhetoric and one is just strange. Here we go, then ...

Lawrence Xu-Nan is immensely intelligent, thoughtful, one of the kindest people I've ever met, and an incredible MP. But whether they're an exceptional person or not, people shouldn't be subjected to racism in our highest halls of power. Point blank.

Some of y'all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal.
Regulations don't exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

IF YOU WANT TO CHECK YOUR ELECTORAL ROLL DETAILS, ALWAYS USE THE "ENROL NOW" LINK on the Electoral Commission Homepage. Scam sites often show up trying to mine as much data as they can. The electoral commission website asks for you name, address and date of birth only. or you can use RealMe.
