About This Data

Donation data is sourced from party annual returns filed with the Electoral Commission under the Electoral Act 1993. All registered parties must file annual returns disclosing donations received.

Disclosure thresholds: Donations over $1,500 must be named in annual returns. Donations over $15,000 must be disclosed to the Electoral Commission within 10 working days. Overseas donations are capped at $30,000 per donor per year.

Cross-sector badges indicate when a donor also holds an NZX directorship, charity trusteeship, or public sector appointment, enabling transparency of political influence across sectors.
