Dear David Johnston

This email is to acknowledge the receipt of your request (copied below), transferred from the Electoral Commission to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) on 28 July 2017, and to confirm that we are treating your request as a request for information under the Official Information Act 1982.

Dear Mr Johnston,

Thank you for your Official Information Act request of 17 July 2017 asking whether the electoral commission developed any policies in order to prevent or manage the influence of foreign intelligence on New Zealand's elections in the last two years.

The Electoral Commission has not itself prepared any policies on protection from the influence of foreign intelligence. In our view, your request is more closely connected with the functions of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) and consequently on Friday 28 July 2017 your request was transferred to DPMC under section 14 of the Official Information Act 1982.

DPMC will respond to you directly.

Kind regards

Kristina Temel
Manager Legal and Policy
Electoral Commission
