Policy NZ - The complete guide to NZ Election 2020
While running as a candidate for the Whangarei District Council (Bream Bay ward) election last year I took part in the 2019 local elections tool Policy Local, to present my policies and priorities.
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. The Policy NZ team summarised 900+ policies from 550+ documents and speeches, and surveyed 500+ candidates across every electorate.
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.

🎭 Tricky, Twisty, and Totally Fun—Let’s Riddle! 🤹♂️
I bring people together, though I’m not alive;
I’m small but vital, helping communities thrive;
I’m often green, sometimes blue or red—
without me, connections might be dead—
What am I?
