The campaign is nearly over, but will we know who’s won on election night?

In the final pre-election episode of Election 2026: The Podcast, Katie Bradford is joined by campaign strategist and pollster Tim Hurdle and Herald deputy political editor Adam Pearse. They look at what the Michael Laws controversy could mean for New Zealand First, why Opportunity’s chances of clearing 5% matter, and which electorate races are worth watching on Saturday.

Plus, the panel looks back at the good, the bad and the ugly of the campaign, and explains why special votes could leave us waiting weeks to find out who’s in a position to form the next government.
