This is a list of candidates for the 2026 New Zealand general election. You can click on a candidate and see details of their social media profiles, related news stories and links to any ads they may have run on Meta or Google.
I've designed this system with crowdsourcing in mind - please feel free to submit candidate details, and if I'm missing a candidate please let me know via the Submit New Candidate button (coming soon!).
