Election Date New Zealand

Voters elected 120 members to the house of representatives 72 from single member electorates and 48 from closed party lists.

Election date new zealand. Special votes include votes from those who enrolled after the deadline of 13 september those who voted. The 2020 new zealand general election was held on saturday 17 october 2020 to determine the composition of the 53rd parliament. It does not include any special votes which have a deadline ten days later 27 october.

So my guess is that the election will in keeping with the last two fall on the the second to last saturday of september which would mean a new zealand general election 2020 on. Two referendums one on the personal use of cannabis and one on euthanasia were also held. They won t be counted on election night and instead new zealanders will have to wait until october 2 for the release of preliminary results.

New zealand has reported fewer than 2 000 total cases and 25 deaths since the pandemic began.
