Which party will win the most party votes in New Zealand’s 2026 general election?

Resolution criteria

Use exact nationwide valid party-vote totals in the Electoral Commission’s first official declaration, including special votes. National or Labour wins if it has the unique highest total; otherwise “Another party”, or “Tie” for an exact tie at the top. Later recounts or corrections won’t change this defined snapshot. Official results are scheduled for 27 November; if delayed beyond 31 January, resolve ambiguous and unscored.
