ACT Party

ACT New Zealand released their list on 16 July 2023. Anto Coates, 33rd on the list, withdrew in July. Elaine Naidu Franz, 29th on the list, stood down on 23 August due to controversial social media comments. Brent Miles, 57th on the list, and contesting Taranaki-King Country, withdrew in September for "personal reasons". ACT's Port Waikato candidate Neil Christensen died during the early voting period, triggering a by-election in the electorate.

Green Party

The Green Party has a two-stage process to determine its party list: an initial list determined by attendees of the annual Green Party conference and then a vote and ordering by members of the party to either uphold the list or generate a different list voted on by the party. The party claims this process is the "most democratic list selection process in the country". The initial list was published on 3 April 2023.

A finalised list was released on 20 May. On 15 June Alec McNeil, previously ranked 26th on the list, withdrew from the list. Rochelle Francis (#29 on the final list) withdrew from the election in late August, leaving the party with no candidate for the Invercargill electorate. Also by late August, Kair Lippiatt (#31 on the final list; list-only) was no longer listed on the Green Party website as one of their candidates.
