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 If you're interested in any of that content, it has been archived by the National Library.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.
I’ve put together this website to collect some valuable resources to help get your head around New Zealand elections. Particularly the MMP calculator to fill the gap created by the removal of the Electoral Commission’s tool, and historical polling data so that it’s easier to visualise and put current results in historical perspective.
I’m digital marketing expert based in Melbourne with substantial experience working for Labo(u)r on both sides of the Tasman Sea. I have very rusty coding skills and part of this project was to give me a recreational opportunity to brush them up.
If you spot any issues problems, or have an idea for something you’d like to see, feel free to contact me at [email protected].
This site costs money to host and maintain. If you find it useful, please consider making a donation to keep it live.
