Summary
The election campaign is officially underway as billboards go up across the country, with ACT’s David Seymour among the first to hit the streets. National leads in fundraising with over $2 million, followed closely by ACT, while Labour, NZ First, the Greens, and Opportunity Party also see strong donor support. Parties are blending traditional tactics with cutting-edge tech — including AI-generated social media posts — sparking debate over strategy and intent. Sign rules vary by region, with Christchurch allowing earlier placement, but all must be removed by November 6. With just nine weeks until election day, it’s clear this race will be fought on every platform — from pavement to pixels.
