Official candidates
The electorate candidate roster follows the Electoral Commission’s 9 October 2026 published nominations. Confirm any late corrections at vote.nz.
Local electorate polling
Whakaata Māori / Curia surveys with candidate support, fieldwork dates and undecided percentages. Most general electorates have no comparable published local candidate survey.
National polling
National party-vote figures come from named public pollsters, with links and fieldwork dates. The selected poll is not a forecast or official result.
Preferred prime minister
Leader comparisons are dated national preferred-PM survey results. Not party voting intention and not election results.
News
Links to articles from RNZ and other reporting retrieved through RSS/aggregation. Articles remain the responsibility of their original publishers. Refresh timing depends on upstream feeds.
Official count
The Electoral Commission’s electionresults.govt.nz is authoritative. Preliminary counts are subject to revision. The app does not assert a live count when the feed has not been verified.
