Write to your MP and Ministers
Messaging your local MP and relevant Ministers is one of the ways we can make our views visible. You can also make an appointment to visit your MP at their local offices to discuss any issue.
Tips:
Contact details for the current MPs and how to address people in Parliament when you correspond with them are available on NZ Parliament website.
- The letter/email should be no more than one page, or around 250 words
- A heading is vital to make the purpose of your letter clear
Tips:
- Make your most important point in the very first sentence.
- Including facts is great
- Include why this issue is important to you
- Ask them to respond to you
- If you are writing a letter to your MP, remember you don’t need a stamp to post it
- MPs’ email addresses all use the same formula: [email protected]
