Some parties have contact forms on their website. I've been in touch with the ACT Party and this is what I sent them:
Kia ora koutou, I'm writing to you on behalf of the politics task force at Wikipedia New Zealand. Here's the deal: make photos of your list candidates available to us and we'll use them on Wikipedia pages, e.g. /info/en/?search=Party_lists_in_the_2023_New_Zealand_general_election

For the Green Party, I've written to Robin Campbell; he is their Chief of Staff and I believe that's the right person to deal with the request. Schwede 66 20:05, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Update:
I think it would be good to get support from DrThneed to get the list candidates into Wikidata. Well, at least ACT at this point, given that their photos will be forthcoming. Schwede 66 06:00, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Update: Labour is in and will provide photos once more! Schwede 66 05:47, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Anyone got time to bulk-upload the Labour Party photos? They are on a Google Drive and the party president has sent an email with the relevant permission to the team at Commons. For good measure, I've uploaded one of those files manually. There are tools available for mass uploads, e.g. Pattypan; ideally someone who wants to take on the task uses one of those tools already.

The Green Party photos have arrived and I've uploaded them. They have 30 candidates and have made 21 photos available. They say: This Google Drive folder should contain all photos of our current list-ranked candidates that we know we have authority to license and are approved by our candidates. A few are missing - if we do get permission to license those from the photographers/candidates, we'll upload them to the same folder and notify you.
I've had a look at the nine missing candidate photos. We have photos for these candidates already:
We are missing photos for:
I'd say that 26 out of 30 28 photos is "complete enough" for us to use the photos at this point, but don't want to make a call on that all by myself. The other consideration is that the highest-ranked candidate without a photo is so far down the list that electoral success is unlikely. What do others say?

I've added photos of Green candidates to Party lists in the 2023 New Zealand general election. I didn't find the photo of Darleen Tana mentioned above.- gadfium 00:15, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Their photo set has been made available. The VRT team is working through the licensing process with them and they will also do the bulk upload. This is going well this year! Schwede 66 19:12, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
Now that the election is over, I've followed up with ACT and National to see whether they have the mental capacity to deal with this. ACT got back to me with questions. I'll keep you posted if anything else happens. Schwede 66 22:28, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
