NEW ZEALAND ELECTION 2026 · SAMOA
What each NZ party says about Samoa.

HOW THIS PAGE IS BUILT
Our method — and why it is neutral
1. Primary sources only
Every entry comes from the party’s own website. No news articles, no commentary, no other party’s description of it.
2. Quoted, never rewritten
Each entry is a word-for-word excerpt with a link to the page it came from. Samoa.si does not paraphrase, summarise, rate or score any party.
3. The same rules for everyone
One identical set of keyword rules is applied to every party — Samoa and Samoan terms, plus Pacific and Pasifika terms (including labour mobility, the RSE scheme and remittances).
4. No party is hidden
Every party is listed, in alphabetical order. A party with no Samoa-related policy is shown with a plain note saying so — not left out.
5. No endorsement
Samoa.si is not affiliated with, funded by, or endorsing any political party. This desk exists so you can read what each party says, in its own words.
6. You can check everything
Each party block links to its own policy page. Party list per the New Zealand Electoral Commission’s register of political parties.

COMMON QUESTIONS
About this desk
Which parties are covered?
Every New Zealand registered party that publishes policies on its own website, taken from the Electoral Commission register of political parties. The six parties in Parliament — National, Labour, the Greens, ACT, New Zealand First and Te Pāti Māori — are all included, along with registered parties outside Parliament that publish a policy library.
How are these policies chosen?
The same keyword rules are applied to every party. A statement is listed when the party’s own words mention Samoa, Samoan people, or the wider Pacific and Pasifika community — the policies that bear on Samoans in New Zealand, in Samoa and around the world.
Is this the party’s full policy?
No — it is only the parts that mention Samoa or the Pacific, quoted exactly as published. Follow the source link on any quote to read the party’s policy in full.
What if a party has no Samoa policy?
The party is still shown, with a plain note that no Samoa-related policy was found on its website on the date checked, and a link to its full policy page. No party is ever hidden.
