Tiriti Action Group is thrilled to announce the launch of Te Wero Pōti – The Great Vote Challenge to motivate enrolment and voting in the upcoming general election.
Te Wero Pōti is a free digital app developed in both English and Te Reo Māori to make it easy and fun for people to talk to their networks about the election.
The free app and printed star chart provides easy-to-share, editable messages of encouragement and ideas to help support people on the journey to the voting booth.
“More than a million of eligible people didn’t vote in 2023, predominantly young Māori and Pasifika. We know that these people need to get election messages from trusted places, so we’re really pushing people to reach out to their people – particularly their tamariki, mokopuna and their friends – who aren’t engaged and connect what matters to them with voting,” says Jessie Moss, spokesperson for Tiriti Action Group.
“In the last election, many people impacted by government decisions didn’t vote. We want to ensure all voices are heard this year by supporting people in kotahitanga to enrol and vote.”
Tiriti Action Group is a non-partisan, mana whenua-led community organisation committed to advancing rangatiratanga and justice, and strengthening collective action to uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
“We encourage people to learn about Te Tiriti, its benefits and take actions in support of Te Tiriti. In 2026 this means voting for Te Tiriti.”
