Among the party’s latest policy announcements is a proposal to restrict voting in New Zealand elections to citizens only.
Peters says the change would strengthen the integrity of the electoral system by ensuring that only New Zealand citizens determine the country’s political future.
The proposal would end voting rights for permanent residents, who are currently eligible to vote after meeting residency requirements.
Candidate selections have also attracted attention as New Zealand First expands its team ahead of the election.
