some dates to remember thanks kiwiblog

I pinched this from kiwiblog ( owe you a dry red )



Parliament dissolves on Friday 3 October (just three days before it happens automatically)
Writ Day is on Wednesday 8 October - this is what triggers the actual election
Nominations Day is Tuesday 14 October - this is the day all nominations and party lists must be in by.
The election is on Saturday 8 November 2008
The official results and writs must be declared and returned by Thursday 27 November 2008
The 49th Parliament must convene no later than Thursday 8 January 2009 (in reality it will almost certainly meet before Christmas. )
