ACT leader David Seymour says voters need to see the result of coalition policies before heading to voting booths.
The Prime Minister's announced the election will be held on November 7 - a later date than the past two, which were held in October.
Seymour says the Government's done a lot of work on the economy, and a later election will give voters time to see that.
"And I think it's only fair that people get to judge the Government on the benefits of its policies delivered before they choose."
