I believe that systematic use of scorecards (report cards) by NGOs is helpful for voters. I haven’t found many used in the NZ context. By simple Google searches and personal knowledge I have found the following. Maybe more will come this week.

• Action Station has 3 scorecards created using AskAway, which itself looks useful.
• Fisheries group Legasea has a scorecard
• The Taxpayers Union has one

It is also useful to have the policies available without being told what to think about them.

• A summary of parties’ policies on various issues at interest.co.nz
• The NZ Herald has a comparison of several parties’ “major” policies
