2023 General election – 14 October 2023
This year we are bringing over 20 shows from Wellington to Hamilton including Māori electorates.
As a community-led awareness and participation initiative, ‘It’s in the Ballot’ takes its format from the Kiwi TV classic ‘It’s in the Bag’. It adds a political twist to assist voters to decide who they should vote for as their electorate MP.
