Download the records behind PartyMap.

Each export uses stable identifiers, links back to evidence and carries the election date, schema version and dataset update time.

Policy claims

Every recorded policy claim with its party, issue, claim type, summary and evidence identifiers.

113 records

Sources

132 records

Change record

The append-only record of content, source, methodology, correction and site changes.

11 records

Electorates

All 64 general and seven Māori electorate names and codes, with verified Stats NZ population and official ASCII-name fields where the anonymous source provides them.

What these files are not

The exports are reviewed snapshots, not a live Electoral Commission feed and not a prediction model. A blank outcome means PartyMap has not recorded sufficient official evidence.

Election archive strategy

The 2026 edition remains live through results and government formation. It will then be frozen as a dated edition while material corrections continue through the public change record.

  1. Keep stable party, claim, source and change identifiers across the live site and archive.
  2. Freeze the final HTML, JSON and CSV files under a permanent election-year path.
  3. Record later factual corrections as dated amendments instead of silently replacing the historical record.
  4. Keep source retrieval dates and archived copies where they are legally and technically available.
