There are two types of candidates in legislative elections: candidates who stand for election in electorates and candidates on party lists who may be elected through the party vote. To be a candidate you must be enrolled to vote and a New Zealand citizen, citizens who are born overseas are required to provide evidence of citizenship with their nomination.
You are disqualified from being a candidate if you have not been in New Zealand within the last three years or if you are in prison serving a sentence of 3 or more years. Other, less common grounds for disqualification exist.
Independent candidates may not nominate themselves; they must be nominated by at least two voters enrolled in the respective electorate.
A $300 deposit is required for nomination.
A party's secretary may nominate candidates from representing their party by lodging a bulk nomination schedule with the Electoral Commission.
