Voting in New Zealand's general election began Saturday, with opinion polls signaling a shift toward the nation's conservative minority.
New Zealanders began voting Saturday in a general election, with opinion polls indicating they favor a conservative change after six years of a liberal government led for most of that time by Jacinda Ardern. Ardern unexpectedly stepped down in January, saying she no longer had 'enough in the tank' to do the job justice. She won the last election in a landslide, but her popularity waned as people tired of COVID-19 restrictions and inflation threatened the economy.
New Zealand election rules prevent candidates from campaigning after polls open Saturday morning. While most votes will be counted by Saturday night, it might take days or even weeks of negotiations between political parties before the next government is finalized.
