The 2026 General Election is about a year away, and it’s time for us to start getting ready as Auckland Province. If we want to run our most successful campaign ever next year, we’re going to need to work together across the City to support our amazing candidates, knock on doors, make phone calls and speak to thousands of people about our Green kaupapa. To help us get started, we’re going to be running a “Practice” Candidate Conference on Sunday 23 November at the Old Folks Association.

***There's been a fantastic take up of this event. Registrations for candidates are now closed as we have met our quota for candidates, it is open for delegates who want to come and practice being a delegate. Delegates may register at the link below, do not rsvp to this event***

This is a great opportunity for:

• Prospective Candidates to get a chance to practice many of the skills they’ll need for the list ranking conference in February next year;
• For potential Branch Delegates to get a sense of how the list ranking process works; and
• For Candidates and Branches to start having conversations about who we want to stand across the 22 electorates in Tāmaki Makaurau.

The Practice Candidate Conference will take place across a day - with introductions from Candidates in the morning, followed by an afternoon of “speed dating” where you’ll get some time to chat with each of the Candidates and hear from them directly. 

Spots for this event will be limited. Please register here.

• Registration: $10 waged / $5 unwaged to help cover the cost of venue hire
• Optional Lunch: $15 - Option of Ripe Deli Sandwich (or BYO)

This venue is wheelchair accessible. If you have any accessibility requirements, please get in touch and we will do our utmost to accommodate.  

Please help us keep our people-powered campaign healthy – do not attend if you are sick and please RAT ahead of events if you have symptoms of Covid-19.
