2026 election: Did you get an information pack?
Kei a Tātou te mana. Check your details ahead of the 2026 General Election.
This year’s General Election will be held on Saturday 7 November 2026.
Māori voters should have received an information pack in the mail by now about the roll choice for this year’s election.
If you’re Māori and haven’t received a pack, it means the Electoral Commission have an old address for you, or you’re not enrolled.

What does the choice mean for you?
If you're Māori, you can choose to be on either the Māori roll or the general roll.
Your roll choice affects which candidates you can vote for but does not affect your party vote. It can also influence the number of Māori and general seats in Parliament.
If you’re happy with the roll you’re on, you don’t need to do anything.
If you’d like to change rolls, you need to make the change by midnight, Thursday 6 August.
