When

October 24, 2026 at 10:00am - 4pm

Join the movement to make people and planet the priority in the Wellington electorates of Kenepuru, Hutt South, and Te Tai Tonga! On Saturday, 24th October, get out and about in the Newlands community, to ensure people are enrolled and voting Green in this election.

Door knocking is the lifeblood of our grassroots campaign – it makes a real difference to how people vote and it’s rewarding to get active in the community and work together for a Greener future. We’ll be knocking in the morning and afternoon, so come for both or either, depending on what sorts you. If data entry is more your thing, we need that vital mahi too, so please join us at noon. 

No experience is required - we'll provide full training to new volunteers and those who need a refresher. If you’re new (or if you prefer) you will be paired up with a friend. In the middle and at the end of the day we’ll reflect and share kai and tea and coffee. See below for the full programme. 

What you need to bring: 

  • Walking shoes 
  • A raincoat (just in case) and a warm layer 
  • Water bottle 

 To stop the spread of winter sickness and keep each other well, please don’t come if you’re unwell. 

 Let us know if you have any accessibility needs that we can support or dietary requirements.

 If you haven't already, please sign the confidentiality agreement and familiarise yourself with the volunteer code of conduct.
