跟进:新西兰大选提前投票启动:首日207个投票点开放,11月7日投票、选情胶着无领跑者

惠灵顿消息:新西兰11月7日大选的提前投票于新西兰时间周一正式启动,选民可在购物中心、交通枢纽、社区会堂等地投票,投票点将在近两周内持续开放。选举委员会表示,首日开放207个投票点,至投票日将增至2300多个;海外投票已于10月21日启动。
本次大选选情胶着,尚无明显领跑者。新西兰实行混合成员比例代表制,组阁往往需要政党间谈判。10月20日公布的1News-Verian民调显示,执政的国家党支持率为32%,工党为27%;10月19日的Post/Freshwater Strategy民调则显示工党以28.7%对27.6%微弱领先国家党。小型政党机会党在两份民调中的支持率均在进入国会所需的5%门槛上下,可能成为造王者。
选民登记已于周日午夜截止。与以往不同,投票期间选民不能再登记或更新资料。批评者认为,提前截止可能压低投票率,对较难登记的群体影响尤甚;新西兰人权委员会去年曾表示,取消投票日登记可能不合理地限制参与。截至10月21日,登记选民为3,729,667人,已超过2023年大选最终登记总数3,688,292人;2023年的登记率为94.7%。

New Zealand Election Early Voting Opens: 207 Polling Places on Day One, No Clear Frontrunner Ahead of November 7 Vote
WELLINGTON — Early voting opened on Monday (New Zealand time) for New Zealand's general election on November 7, with ballot boxes available at shopping centres, transport hubs and community halls for nearly two weeks. The Electoral Commission said 207 voting places were open on Monday, rising to more than 2,300 on election day. Overseas voting opened earlier, on October 21.
The race remains too close to call. Public polling has swung sharply in recent days under New Zealand's mixed-member proportional system, where coalition deals are often needed to form a government. A 1News-Verian poll published on October 20 put the ruling centre-right National Party at 32% and opposition Labour at 27%, while a Post/Freshwater Strategy poll published a day earlier had Labour narrowly ahead on 28.7% to National's 27.6%. In both surveys, the smaller Opportunity party was polling around or above the 5% threshold needed to enter parliament, making it a potential kingmaker.
Enrolment closed at midnight on Sunday. Unlike in previous elections, voters can no longer enrol or update their details during the voting period, meaning people not enrolled by the cutoff cannot cast a vote in this election. Critics say the earlier cutoff could deter participation, particularly among groups that are harder to reach; the Human Rights Commission said last year that ending election-day enrolment was likely to unjustifiably restrict participation and would disproportionately affect underrepresented groups. As of October 21, 3,729,667 people were enrolled to vote, already above the final 2023 total of 3,688,292, when the enrolment rate was 94.7%.
