Welcome to The Progress Report 2.0 - a repository of tools and data for anyone interested in New Zealand politics.

The first version of The Progress Report was a blog I ran up until 2014, with excellent contributions from James Caygill, Keir Leslie and other guest posters. If you're interested in any of that content, it has been archived by the National Library.

Following the closure of The Progress Report I built a new site, polled.co.nz to host some of the caucus calculators and other tools I had been working on.

This version of The Progress Report has been rebuilt from the ground up and should hopefully be far more flexible and robust. If you find any bugs or issues, or have any ideas for new data or features, please get in touch.

New feature - Election Results

I've just launched a pretty big new feature - detailed election results from the NZ 2023 election. Check it out.

You can see the swing each party got, for both candidate & party vote, not only or each electorate, but also for most polling booths.

I'll be able to use this framework to roll out tons more new features. Stay tuned!
