Well, voting is closed (unless you were already in line). So now we wait.
A couple of election cycles ago, I did the early vote count. We were sequestered at a secure Electoral Commission site from 8.30am and counted the early votes for the Wellington region over the course of the day. We had a final early vote count by 6.30pm - which meant we were able to report at 7pm exactly.
We should see similarly early results this evening.

It's Election Day in New Zealand today. I can't tell you who to vote for but I can encourage to vote. Please do! It is your chance to influence how our lives are governed. You can find your nearest polling station here: https://vote.nz/2023-general-election/how-to-vote/find-a-voting-place/ #VoteNZ #democracy
Ok, Aotearoa New Zealand - today's the day - if you haven't already.. GET OUT AND VOTE!
You don't need an easyvote card, you don't need to be at home, you don't even need to be enrolled! So just go, no excuses 😜 #votenz
I haven’t yet voted but when I do it will be for the Green Party. They’ve made progress even when in opposition and they actually think about the future. Even their internal conflicts are an indicator of giving a shit and trying things.
Anyway, go vote if you haven’t. Obviously you don’t have to vote as I’d vote, but I encourage you to consider the wellbeing of people less fortunate and less powerful than most. And the future. Consider the future decades. #voteNZ
Voting day in NZ tomorrow. #votenz
Re-upping with only 2 days left to #VoteNZ Go do it!

“Voting isn’t marriage, it’s public transport.
You’re not waiting for “the one” who’s absolutely perfect: you’re getting the bus, and if there isn’t one to your destination, you don’t not travel- you take the one going closest.”
The way the polls are going right now, a few percentage points here & there can be significant. If you want a more equitable New Zealand, make sure you cast your vote this election. Make sure your voice is heard. #NZPol #voteNZ https://www.thepress.co.nz/a/nz-news/350086956/casting-your-vote-against-disinformation
ETA: And the thing is, your One Vote counts for just as much as a millionaire's ONE VOTE. But only if you cast it.
My youngest son will be voting for the first time this Saturday. Some of his friends have said they won't be voting (for various reasons). So in the spirit of getting more younger voters into the habit (😈 yes, this is my Master Plan) he's told them I'll shout them a coffee at the cafe near the voting station if they vote 😁😉 I'm hoping my cafe bill is very large 🤞☕ #NZPol #VoteNZ #NZVote23
Ha, great timing on the easyvote packs this year #votenz
