About This Data

New Zealand elected officials are legally required to declare their financial interests publicly. Councils must maintain registers of their members' pecuniary interests under the Local Government Act 2002 (introduced November 2022), while Parliament maintains annual registers for MPs. These declarations include employment, shareholdings, property interests, gifts, and potential conflicts of interest. The legal framework promotes transparency, public trust, and helps citizens identify when elected officials may have competing financial interests in public decisions.

This information has been extracted from official pecuniary interest register sources using AI technology and reviewed by an imperfect human. Please report any errors or omissions to [email protected].
