We suggest that voters support candidates who are aware of the likely timing of oilcrash (2005-2007), candidates who are aware of the repercussions of oilcrash and candidates who are actively preparing for oilcrash.
We also suggest that if there are no such candidates, the voting papers be marked in the “informal” line with “Unable to vote. No worthwhile candidate” or similar.
The following candidates meet our criteria for elect-ability (knowledge of and active promotion of oilcrash):
| Auckland City | none | |
| Lower Hutt | Neil Newman, Ray Wallace | |
| Manukau | none | |
| Nelson | Anne FitzSimon, Don Murray | |
| Palmerston North | ??? | |
| Tauranga | Noel Peterson | |
| Wellington | Bryan Pepperell, Paul Bruce, Celia Wade-Brown |
Anyone wishing to be added to this list please notify elections@oilcrash.com.
