Kōrero for Change webinar: Political and Democratic Processes
With the 2026 New Zealand General Election fast approaching, this timely kōrero will highlight the systemic barriers that continue to exclude disabled people and their whānau from equitable access to politics and democracy in Aotearoa New Zealand; from enrolling and voting, to accessing political information and engaging in public decision-making.
Date: Wednesday 17th June 2026
Time: 9 to 11am.
Location: Online. Zoom link will provided by email once registered.
Cost: FREE.
Access should be grounded in equity, dignity, and empowerment. However, for many disabled people, it is still shaped by limited awareness, inflexible systems, and ableist assumptions about who can and should participate in our political and democratic processes. Despite growing awareness and reform efforts, these barriers remain deeply embedded.
