Who To Lobby: A Sourced Directory of Political Power
A civic lookup tool for elected members, ministers, and election candidates, beginning with New Zealand.
- For
- People trying to identify relevant elected officials
- Worth noticing
- The homepage separates elected office, ministerial roles, candidacies, and uncovered areas while dating its sourcing.
Field notes
The directory uses coverage states rather than presenting one undifferentiated list: people may hold a seat, hold public office, stand for election, or remain outside coverage. The New Zealand homepage separates Parliament, ministers, Cabinet, and the 2026 general election, and lists later expansion targets including local councils and government agencies. It also exposes methodology, source, and correction links, making maintenance part of the site’s visible structure.
