Writ day

The Governor-General has signed the writ ordering the election. So, it is now officially happening. Nominations open tomorrow, and close in a week; that sounds short, but most parties have already selected their candidates, so all they need to do is fill out a form (the only party which hasn't announced candidates or a list is NZ First). A full list of candidates will be announced on October 15.
