How to Vote

The next local Government elections are on Saturday 8 October 2022.

In New Zealand, all local body elections are held by postal vote. That means you need to fill in your voting form and post it back before midday 8 October.

If you are registered to vote in Parliamentary elections (a Parliamentary elector), you are automatically enrolled as a residential elector to vote in local authority elections. The address where you are registered as a Parliamentary elector will be in the council district for the local authority elections.

You will receive a voting document in the mail so that you can vote by post.
