Now the platform is back as Policy NZ, providing us voters with a complete guide to the NZ Election 2020, including the policies, parties, candidates, and (coming soon) referendums.

Research from the Electoral Commission shows that one in three non-voters cite ‘not knowing who to vote for’ as their main reason for not voting. Now there's no more excuse for not knowing - and for the roughly two thirds of us who vote the same as always, for whatever dubious reasons, it might be a chance to double-check that we're still supporting the right bunch, and to care and think before casting our votes.
