August 05, 2026“Party vote ACT and constituency vote National” was ACT candidate Paul Henry’s pitch to his Blenheim audience, notably right in front of ACT’s candidate for the Kaikōura electorate. When Local Democracy Reporting asked him to clarify that statement, again directly in front of ACT Kaikōura candidate Tom Spooner, Henry doubled down. Henry noted that in the last election, twice as many Kaikōura voters gave ACT their party vote than they did their electorate vote. The more people that can party vote ACT, the more ability ACT has to push those values forward in the next government,” Spooner said.
