NZ ELECTION POSTPONED


New Zealand's election has been postponed by a month after a spike in coronavirus cases.

The vote's being moved from 19th September to 17th October.

The country's largest city, Auckland, is in lockdown with 58 cases linked to a cluster there.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the new election date allows parties to plan better for a campaign carried out under unusual circumstances.
