## Resource

Eight iwi in Taranaki are launching a bold, youth-focused voter registration drive ahead of the big election, using TikTok, Instagram, and even door-to-door outreach to get young Māori registered—because voting shouldn’t feel out of reach. Te Tōpuni Ngārahu’s campaign cleverly ties the kumara vine to a “landline” for political connection, featuring Stan Walker and tapping into iwi databases to make enrollment simple, fast, and personal. With only 52% of Māori aged 18–24 registered in Whanganui, and no same-day registrations left, this push is urgent: advance voting starts October 26th, with polls on November 7th.
