Petitions

Petitions are addressed to the House of Representatives and ask that the House do something about a policy or law, or put right a local or private concern.

This page shows the petitions you can sign as well as petitions that are closed for signatures and have moved on to the next part of the process. You can also start a petition using the ‘Create a Petition’ button.

Petitions can be created by anyone and must be signed by at least one person.

Find out more about creating and signing petitions.

Contact the Office of the Clerk if you have questions about petitions at. parliamentary.petitions@parliament.govt.nz

If petitioners wish to extend their petition closing date, please email parliamentary.petitions@parliament.govt.nz.

We are aware of an issue with updating signature counts on petition pages. Signatures are all being captured, but there may be a long delay between a petition being signed and the count on the petition page being updated. We are working on a fix for this issue.
