New Zealand holiday FAQ
Does an empty or partial New Zealand list mean there are no holidays?
No. It only means our database does not currently contain those rows. Official holidays may still exist outside this dataset.
How are tentative and estimated dates handled?
They are labeled explicitly and are not counted as confirmed official public holidays in the summary figures.
