2011 General Election and Referendum

9 November 2011

This year's General Election and Referendum occur on Saturday 26 November.

The RNZFB has created an election information hub including information about how to vote, brochures about the Election and Referendum in accessible formats, and information about the political parties' disability policies.

We have written to each of the registered parties to find out about their policies on issues that affect blind and partially sighted people. You can read the questions we asked on the election hub. We've also linked to the parties' policies on disability and other issues.
