New Zealand election too close to call as counting continues
Summary of 11 reports
Polls have closed in New Zealand's general election with counting underway. Early results show the two main parties nearly deadlocked with both receiving approximately 30% of votes and separated by fewer than 4,000 votes, suggesting neither party may easily form a government without coalition support. Final official results are not expected until late November after special votes are counted.
