Originally tooted yesterday as a reply but for better visibiility here it goes again:

https://localelections.nz/ - Gen Zero survey

https://theprogressreport.co.nz/local-candidates-2025/ - public information

https://www.votefortetiriti.com/ - honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi

https://policy.nz/2025 Local Gov NZ - public info

https://paultheotherone.com/lg25/ - guide to regional councils and red flag spotting

https://ratepayer.vote/ - Taxpayers Union candidate endorsement (kiss of death, from my point of view).. a check here is a bad candidate in my book.

AUCKLAND
https://www.bikeauckland.org.nz/campaigns/bikeable-auckland/ - for better cycling in the city

CANTERBURY - Vote for clean drinking water
https://www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/freshwater/vote-clean-drinking-water/

These are just the ones I used to inform my vote (thanks again @Kay ) but remember to check for any groups advocating for the things you care about in your community and use them to guide you.

Lastly, if you still cant decide who to vote for, go for whoever is more likely to defeat the worst candidates you'd like to vote against.

Do Participate if you can!
Voting alone is not going to solve this but we definitely need to use any tools at our disposal and not participating can and will make things worse.

Please comment with any other resources you've found or your approach to choosing the least worst when there is no best.
#democracy or what's left of it.

I am contractually obligated to remind people voting in Canterbury that Greenpeace put out a Nitrate scorecard for safe drinking water and you should use it to inform your vote:

Dear Sir Keir,

Please sack Rachel Reeves and enact some left-wing policies, such as taxing the rich to help the disadvantaged.

Thank you
