A voter has referred an Act Party campaign leaflet to the Advertising Standards Authority over a graphic deemed misleading. The leaflet targeted National candidate Mahesh Muralidhar during the election contest in the Tāmaki electorate. Meanwhile, National Party supporters were reportedly advised to wear rosettes instead of blue clothing during a local walkabout.
