Election Day Is Upon Us
On Saturday New Zealand will hold its 52nd election.
Despite differences over the county’s direction and how to get there, being part of a representative democracy is still a precious right.
The politicians and their supporters have had their say.
Many people have exercised their right to vote already and the rest will have their chance until the polls close on Saturday.
Then the results will begin to roll in…
Until then Scoop will be obeying the electoral law
and will be quiet in a political sense until
then.
