Political Party Funding in New Zealand

This research, conducted as part of the 2023 New Zealand Election Study (NZES), examines how New Zealanders feel about political party funding and its impact on democracy. With ongoing debates and proposed reforms, the study provides valuable public opinion data on whether political donations influence policymaking and whether voters support changes to the current system. The findings could help to inform electoral law reforms and have been submitted to the Justice Select Committee inquiry into the 2023 New Zealand Election. By understanding public concerns, this research plays a key role in shaping stronger and more democratic electoral policies.
