Television broadcasters, along with Stuff, which is sometimes a bit like television but at other times is just outsourced TV3, have urged the Electoral Commission to release election results in a more exciting order, saying the current approach gives undue priority to counting votes rather than maintaining suspense.

In yet another blow to the National Party’s stuttering campaign, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has somehow lost the United States midterm elections, despite not qualifying for, nor participating, in any of them.

Independent family-owned supermarkets independently suffer identical independent pricing faults October 20, 2026
Several independent, family-owned supermarkets across the North Island yesterday independently experienced independent pricing errors at independent but identical times.

Opinion: I don’t know how to be any more clear. No, really, I don’t. Please help October 17, 2026

Green Party promises to nationalise the Kiwibank sheep October 7, 2026
In perhaps its boldest policy proclamation of the campaign, the Green Party has pledged to nationalise Buck, the Kiwibank sheep, effectively putting it in the public domain.
