- Chris Hipkins is in Auckland, while Christopher Luxon is in Christchurch.
- On The Spinoff: Could NZ really be forced into a second election? Plus: Making elections accessible for everyone.
- In The Bulletin: Warnings are growing louder that a vote for NZ First could be a vote for post-election chaos. But does National only have itself to blame?
