Electoral Commission admits enrolment errors

The Electoral Commission has added about 6,300 eligible voters to the roll after a system error led to residence class visa holders being wrongly asked for extra proof of their immigration status.

It also found about 1,200 people were incorrectly enrolled despite holding temporary or expired visas. Their names will be removed before the official count, and any votes they may have cast will be disallowed.

A 2025 study found New Zealand was only one of five countries that allowed non-citizen voting. NZ First announced its citizen-only voting policy in July.

  1. “A 2025 study found New Zealand was only one of five countries that allowed non-citizen voting. NZ First announced its citizen-only voting policy in July.”

    The whole India FTA things makes perfect sense now, right? Nothing like “padding the odds.”

  2. This war report examines the operational metric of timeline activation and why the actively renewed Executive Order 13848 and the 45-day window following the midterms are said to enforce the Alliance’s executive leverage. It argues that the midterm elections taking place across the United States on November 3, 2026 represent not a standard civilian balloting scenario but a fundamental operational milestone within the active Allied timeline.
    The legal framework, it explains, is Executive Order 13848, issued by President Donald Trump on September 12, 2018, and continuously extended, most recently via official publication notice in the Federal Register. Through this extension, the report states, the national emergency concerning foreign election interference and the undermining of public confidence remains executively active until at least September 12, 2027. Under Continuity of Government protocols, it contends, this order serves as the judicial instrument to capture any form of cyber-logistical or administrative manipulation, declaring unauthorized access to critical election infrastructure and the covert distribution of disinformation by external proxy actors an extraordinary threat to national security.
    The report then lays out what it calls the mathematical clockwork set in motion when the polls close. The statutory layout of EO 13848 mandates, it says, a 45-day deadline for the Director of National Intelligence to deliver a comprehensive inter-agency assessment detailing whether and to what extent foreign powers or their domestic proxies attempted to access campaign or election infrastructure, manipulate outcomes, or corrupt public perception. That is followed by a synchronous 45-day follow-up window in which the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security must execute a binding evaluation of material impacts and determine which legal steps must be initiated.
    It closes by framing that 45-day span as the logistical corridor in which the Allied network, operating under the shadow of the Space Force and the JAG Corps, evaluates the secured data, with the DNI assessment described as the ultimate executive leverage because fraud vitiates everything.

    The Wasted Vote Scam: Cheerleading the Same Arse That Put You in the Shit
    October 30, 2026 Published by Kelvyn Alp

    Let’s cut the crap.

    Every election cycle the same tired rubbish gets pushed by influencers, organisations, other parties and online loudmouths: “Don’t waste your vote.” “Vote strategically.” “A vote for a small party is a vote for the other side.”

    It’s nonsense. Pure, deliberate, status-quo-preserving nonsense. These people are not warning you against waste. They are ordering you to keep feeding the machine that created the mess in the first place.

    If you want to know who can actually save this country, look at who they will not let you hear. Mainstream media, the political class and the professional commentariat give NZ Loyal no quarter and no coverage. That is not an accident. If you want to know who rules over you, find out who you are not allowed to criticise. Flip it. If you want to know who might actually break the cycle, find out who they are desperately preventing you from listening to. That party is NZ Loyal.

    The most staggering part is the so-called “awake” crowd. People who spent years identifying the rot, the capture, the globalist agenda, the institutional failure… then turn around and cheerlead for National or Labour as if these two cheeks of the same arse somehow became the solution. How the hell is that a sign of intelligent life? You have diagnosed the disease and then demanded more of the pathogen. Einstein’s definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Voting National-led or Labour-led is exactly that. The problems are structural, intentional and profitable for those running the show. Only a fruit-loop with the intellectual capacity of a rock keeps voting for the architects of the failure and calls it pragmatism.

    Then there are the clowns who bang on endlessly about “world controllers” yet haven’t got the faintest idea what the hell they’re on about. They’ll lecture you for hours on hidden hands and global agendas, then turn around and vote for the very parties those agendas run through. The old saying “when the world needs a hero, we shall give them one” is bandied about by these same people – right before they line up to vote for the same recycled heroes the system already approved. Their discernment sucks. They can spot the cage but still cheer for the gaolers.

    Then there are the NPCs. Always online, moaning their guts out about everything that is wrong, yet telling everyone not to vote or that voting is pointless. Non-participation is not resistance. It is surrender dressed up as purity.

    Add the astro-turfers, the state-adjacent assets and the professional advocates who pretend to be for the people while herding them back toward the status quo. There is no meaningful difference between the “left” and the “right” in this country. The branding changes. The outcomes do not.

    Look at the Taxpayers’ Union. Well-funded, constantly claiming to advocate for taxpayers. If they truly gave a damn they would be pushing NZ Loyal’s 1% Transaction Tax policy – the one that replaces income tax, GST company tax and all other taxes, with a single, simple levy on transactions. Jordan Williams attempted to ridicule that solution. He got schooled. After that it was crickets. The facade slipped for a moment and they had nothing left to say.

    The Free Speech Union is another capture, control and contain operation. They carefully avoid anything too controversial. It looks very much like they have their marching orders.

    And the so-called freedom movement? Many of those who once claimed to stand against the system are now actively advocating for the very parties and structures that enforce it. By their own hands they will ensure their own destruction. Stockholm Syndrome is real.

    Then we have the manufactured alternatives given mainstream airtime. The Opportunities Party is a textbook case. They get the facilitation, the respectful interviews, the “serious option” treatment. Yet strip away the polished branding and what remains? A collection of technocratic talking points with no real teeth, no structural challenge to the capture, and not a single logical or sensible solution that actually breaks the cycle. Land value taxes, citizen’s incomes, cross-party plans and Commerce Commission tweaks sound clever until you realise they leave the same institutional architecture, the same incentives and the same unaccountable class firmly in place. They are the controlled opposition of the centre and allowed airtime precisely because they pose no genuine threat. Like most of the parties given oxygen by the media, they exist to absorb discontent, rebrand managed decline as innovation, and keep the real alternatives starved of oxygen.

    We do not live in a truly democratic country. What we have is mob rule without constitutional safeguards. There is no written constitution that protects the individual from mass lunacy. Those who turn up and vote decide for everyone, including those who refuse to participate. That is the system. Pretending otherwise is self-delusion.

    I challenge every one of the globalist puppet political whores – National, Labour, the hangers-on and the professional influencers who push the strategic vote line, to a live, unscripted debate with me. I know none of them will take it up. They follow the script. I do not. They would have their arses handed to them on a plate and they know it. The state does not want a bar of NZ Loyal for one simple reason: the game would be up.

    You cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results. You cannot keep voting for the same two cheeks of the same arse and pretend you are solving anything. The wasted vote narrative is far from wisdom. It’s the sound of the status quo protecting itself.

    The only wasted vote is the one you cast for the people who created the mess and then told you it was the only option left.
