Google to cover the NZ elections
Published August 18th, 2008 in Musings Tags: google election coverage new zealand. Scoopit Share it del.icio.us |Digg it |Furl |Netscape |reddit |StumbleUpon | ScoopitThat’s my prediction anyway. Last year Google covered the Australian elections and I’m wondering whether they will cover the NZ elections in the same way.
The Australian elections was covered at http://www.google.com.au/election2007/
So I figure that ours would therefore be at http://www.google.co.nz/election2008/ … interestingly, if you click on that link you don’t get any confirmation that there will be coverage except that it changes to http://www.google.com/2008election/ - which doesn’t happen if you go to http://www.google.co.nz/blah2008
I rest my case.

New Zealand general elections occur when the Prime Minister requests a dissolution of Parliament and therefore a general election. Theoretically, this can happen at any time, although a convention exists whereby Prime Ministers do not call elections unless they have no reasonable alternative.

It’s changed! http://www.google.co.nz/election2008/ now goes to the US elections coverage.
Actually… www.google.co.nz/election2008 hosts Google’s New Zealand election gadget for iGoogle:
The gadget helps you follow the 2008 election with the latest news, videos, blog posts, and official policies and newsfeeds, and can be accessed through a web browser or internet-enabled mobile phone.
It also features a link to the ONE News YouTube Election Debate taking place on Tuesday, October 14 - www.youtube.co.nz/debate.

Google covers everything, there is no reason why they wouldn’t cover the NZ election, it is what they do.
