Election 2026
2026 is a pivotal year for Aotearoa New Zealand - a General Election where voters are being disenfranchised, Māori, minority groups and beneficiaries are being vilified, the economy is struggling and data and research led decision making is being thrown out to placate lobbyists and ideologues.
So here you'll find a range of resources to help you work out where to place your vote in 2026 - but also data led content on how you're being manipulated by politicians, media, algorithms and the world around us to think and vote a specific way - the way the billionaires want you to which isn't always in your self interest.

*The data in this Poll Aggregate is as of September 29, 2026 and includes data points made public from Verian, Freshwater, Roy Morgan, Talbot Mills, Reid Research, IPSOS and Curia. As Curia refuses to agree to industry regulation membership, users have the option to turn off Curia data within the aggregate. The Seat Calculator is based on the common practice assumption of all current seats being held by incumbent parties and uses the Sainte-Laguë formula for calculation unless the data includes Curia data points as they do not work on this industry standard assumption.
