There will be 29 executions of the TVC to communicate key messages during critical stages of the enrolment.

“The last New Zealand electoral campaign resulted in 95.3% of eligible voters being enrolled to vote, which is recognised as one of the highest in the world. It means we need to get the strategy and creative right to ensure we can build on this performance, especially in a year with so many other distractions.” said Saatchi & Saatchi’s Wellington general manager, Livia Esterhazy.

Murray Wicks, of the Electoral Enrolment Centre, added: “The brilliance of the new iconography is that it reduces the amount of content required to convey what is a reasonably complex process. Based on the number of online, text and phone enquiries we’ve received already, these subtle changes are proving very effective.”
