Party lists in the 2020 New Zealand general election

The 2020 New Zealand general election is scheduled to be held on Saturday, 17 October 2020, to determine the membership of the 53rd New Zealand Parliament.[1] It was previously scheduled for 19 September,[2] before being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Parliament has 120 seats,[4] and 72 will be filled by electorate MPs, with the remaining 48 from ranked party lists.[5] Writ day, i.e. the day when the Governor-General issues a formal direction to the Electoral Commission to hold the election, has been set for Sunday, 13 September 2020. As stipulated in section 127 of the Electoral Act 1993, the writ will set a date by which registered parties must submit a "list of candidates for election to the seats reserved for those members of Parliament elected from lists". That date has already been published, though, and party lists must be submitted by 17 September.[6][1] Confirmed party lists can be expected to be released by the Electoral Commission later in September; some parties will publish their lists earlier than that. This page lists candidates by party, including their ranking on a list.

Green Party

The Green Party has a two-stage process to determine its party list, a process that they claim is "the most democratic list selection process in the country". The initial list is determined by attendees of the annual Green Party conference, which was held during February 2020. In a departure from previous practice, the initial list was not publicly released, but media company Stuff published a partial list on 9 April 2020.[9]

Labour Party

The Labour Party released its list on 15 June 2020.[11] On 4 July, Kurt Taogaga was removed from his position at 68th on the list after past tweets were resurfaced in which he praised an Islamophobic column written by NZ First MP Richard Prosser.[12] On 21 July, incumbent list MP Raymond Huo, who had been placed at 26th on the list, announced that he would not contest the election.[13] On 22 July, Iain Lees-Galloway, 13th on the list, announced he would retire after being demoted from cabinet for inappropriate workplace relations.

gollark: styropyro in the year 2400
gollark: I duckduckgoed myself, and I found a Twitter account of someone in the US with the same name who just retweets random political stuff, a consultant company of some sort named "[REDACTED] & Associates", a page for someone working at "ZDNet", a Wikipedia article and a LinkedIn page. Weird.
gollark: Could you put a thin layer of glass on top of plastic, or would that be a "problems of both, benefits of neither, exciting new problems too" kind of situation?
gollark: Actually, how come tempered glass is used instead of plastic, which would *not* randomly explode as far as I know? Strength?
gollark: Great, you've made me scared of shower doors, at least until I inevitably forget that.
