    History

    [edit]

    Activity in 2011

    [edit]

    Hussain al-Saady contested the March 2011 Botany by-election for the party,[3] winning 32 votes (0.2% of the total).

    In June 2011, the party was conditionally awarded $20,000 of broadcasting funding for the 2011 election.[4][5] In September 2011 the Electoral Commission registered the party's logo.[6]

    On 27 August 2011, the party took part in a nationwide protest against the Infringing File Sharing Amendment Act: several hundred people around New Zealand drew media attention to the revised law.

    The Pirate Party was a non-registered party in the 2011 General Election, but contested the Hamilton East and Wellington Central electorates.[7] The party won 137 votes in Hamilton East,[8] and 277 in Wellington Central.[9]

    Activity after 2011

    [edit]

    PPNZ did not stand any candidates at the 2014 election. PPNZ sought the members required for registration to run in the 2017 election,[10] but ultimately did not run any candidates.
