The NZ election is delayed until October 17
Hey neighbours,
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has delayed the 2020 election by a month, with the new polling day set for October 17.
Ardern has been under increasing pressure to delay the election, previously set for September 19, after Auckland was placed in a two-week lockdown due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the community, leading to a halt in most political campaigning.
