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 If you're interested in any of that content, it has been archived by the National Library.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.
A new poll from Gallup from September 1960 has been uploaded. The details are:
This is the earliest political poll in NZ that I've been able to find.

I'm thrilled to introduce our latest feature on The Progress Report: an interactive Booth Results Map for the 2023 New Zealand Election. This new tool allows you to dive deep into the election results, exploring data right down to individual voting booths right across the country. With just a few clicks, you can now visualise party and candidate votes for each booth and compare swings from the previous election. You can take a look from any of the electorates linked on the 2023 General Election results page. If you have any feedback I'd love to hear it!
