Description

Only 1 in 10 New Zealanders living overseas voted in their own election. With roughly one million Kiwis abroad, that’s a lot of people not having a say. So, in the 2020 election, nonpartisan initiative Every Kiwi Vote Counts wanted to convert non-voters.   Say what you want about Russia and their online influencing of other countries’ elections, but you’ve got to admit, those meddlers damn well get results!   So, we turned to the experts in online election influencing. Viktor, the Russian led a campaign asking kiwis to ‘Meddle in the New Zealand election’. He targeted overseas Kiwis on social, by forcing his sneaky videos and posts into his target’s news feeds all over the world. He figured out how to get into the groups they were in, how to get on the news they were subscribed to and how to spread his message through word of mouth. Then, he constantly sent them to his website to vote.   And like any good meddler, he got the job done. Enrolment went up 24%, online votes cast were up by 42%, we had the largest shift in electoral seats since 1999 and a Maori seat was historically gained.
