Why Support Vote Smart 2026?

Backing VoteSmart 2026 is an investment in a better New Zealand by helping make every vote count.

With the general election fast approaching, RCR’s VoteSmart 2026 helps New Zealanders understand how our electoral system works and make informed decisions about their vote.

Our campaign includes one million flyers, billboards, newspaper advertising, interviews, social media and online resources, all designed to reach voters across the country.

But getting these resources into the hands of New Zealanders takes funding, and time is running out.

If you value this work, please consider contributing to help us reach more New Zealanders before election day.

Thank you.

Why Support RCR?

RCR is the fastest growing media platform in New Zealand because we boldly cover the issues the mainstream won’t and we challenge the voices they don’t.

This is only made possible because we are NOT beholden to powerful special interests. We proudly refuse to take government handouts nor do we accept advertising dollars that could be used to influence editorial decisions.

This means we cannot be coerced, censored or cancelled, but the flip side is we depend on you to help keep the wheels turning. The fact is a national radio station doesn’t come cheap. There are significant hard costs that go into making it all happen.

So if you value the uncompromising rational news we deliver over the infuriating special-interest funded narrative that dribbles from the legacy media, please consider chipping in to help keep RCR going strong.

We’re here for you, so long as you’re there for us. We’re all in this together.

All donations large and small are greatly appreciated, and monthly commitments of any size help tremendously.

Thank you for your support.
