Eleven parties are registered with the Electoral Commission to contest the 2026 party vote but hold no seats in the current Parliament (register checked 23 August 2026). They’re listed equally and alphabetically. Arapono doesn’t rank or endorse any party.

Party names from the Electoral Commission’s register of registered political parties (as at 1 July 2026); official websites and policy-focus areas are taken from each party’s own site. Further registered parties will appear here as we verify them; three more — the Alliance Party, New Zealand Loyal and Te Tai Tokerau Party — have applied and are under consideration ahead of the 6 August 2026 registration deadline.
