Massey University and Stuff are running a pre-election survey that asks about the effects on you of the COVID-19 pandemic and numerous other topical matters.

They want to hear your political opinions – your hopes, fears and expectations.

Covid-19 is forging significant social and economic change. Public opinion has shifted dramatically in ways that we could not have anticipated a mere six months ago.
[…] You get to tell us how things look from your point of view. In return, we will feed back some key survey findings with expert commentary.
This will stimulate pre-electoral dialogue on the real needs, perceptions and aspirations of voters. It will reduce the space available for political point-scoring, misinformation and scandal.
