The NZ State is working hard to rig and steal the next election and you should be incandescent with rage
The claim by Minister Goldsmith that we are disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters by gerrymandering the cut off date to enrol is to speed up the process is a lie.
The Electoral Commission has already told him it will still take 20 days to count the 700 000 predicted special votes.
This has nothing to do with speeding up the process and everything to do with rigging and stealing the next election.
The Specials benefit the Left, gerrymandering the cut off aims to limit those Specials rigs the election against the Left.
But it gets worse, the Dormant Roll negatively hits MΔori…
Labour MP sounds alarm about 115,000 on dormant electoral roll
Labour MP Willow-Jean Prime is sounding the alarm after discovering she was moved on to the dormant electoral roll earlier this year without her knowledge.
Chief Electoral Officer Karl Le Quesne on Monday revealed about 115,000 people were currently on the dormant roll. That is about 25 percent lower than the same time in the 2023 election cycle, but Le Quesne said it was still “not good enough.”
People were typically shifted onto the dormant roll if the Electoral Commission had tried and failed to get in touch them.
Voters would still be able to cast a ballot, but would have to go through the special vote process and would not be sent an EasyVote card.
Prime told RNZ she only discovered her dormant enrolment status “by chance” when she checked online in June, only to be told: “You are not currently enrolled”, which she said was “misleading.”
She said she had earlier been emailed and texted by the commission asking her to update her details, but she did not because they were all correct.
“I did what they told me to do, and every time I went on there, my details were correct. I hadn’t moved.”
Prime said the whole situation felt “a bit messy”.
“My concern is: if that happened to me as a member of Parliament, how many other MΔori has this happened to?” Prime said.
“This is our election. People have to have confidence in our electoral system with the changes to the electoral law from this government.”
About 5000 voters of MΔori descent were moved onto the dormant electoral roll since the end of March this year.

…so you have cut offs for the Specials and a Dormant Roll for MΔori.
Universal suffrage is about making it as easy as possible to vote, constantly gerrymandering the enrolment process undermines that on purpose.
The NZ State is working hard to rig and steal the next election and you should be incandescent with rage!

The claim by Goldsmith that the disenfranchising of thousands of voters by gerrymandering the cut off of the enrolment date, is to ‘speed up the process’, is absolutely a LIE and so very typical of this arrogant, spineless, corrupt CoC! Anyone who can’t clearly see this is either dim-witted, not interested, or of the same dishonest ilk as Goldsmith. Of course this horrid lot will do everything they can to cheat, lie and tamper with the electoral rolls and the voting rules β in fact ANYTHING scurrilous that they can do. It defies belief that they would even wish to go in again after their thoroughly absymal and totally embarrassing βeffortsβ over the past three years! How dare they do this to our lovely New Zealand! As I have said before they are meddling with the electoral roll so please everyone continue to double check your voting status and scream load and clear if it has been tampered with! How so many so-called Christianly people can support and promote this totally dishonest regime is staggering. If you are one of those people β be ashamed, be very, very ashamed! https://vote.nz/contact or 0800 367656
Stinks to high heaven IMHO ???
What does the Electoral Commission think of this ?
Why canβt we have compulsory voting here in NZ and get the Sleepy Hobbits off the couches and take an interest in the country and its future?
