Only 2 in 5 voted the last 2 years – Will You?
This post isn’t about me and the aims I stand for if elected
It’s about you!
Have you enrolled to vote?
Regardless of who you vote for….
For the council to best represent the people we need everyone to have their say in the next few weeks.
First check your enrolment details are correct here
If they are, great!
Everyone who was correctly enrolled by Friday 16 August 2013 will get their voting papers for the 2013 local elections sent to them in the mail.
If you enrol after August 16, and before October 12, you can still vote, but you will have to request special voting papers from your local council electoral officer.
And finally, if you are wondering who to vote for, type your address into the search bar at http://www.vote.co.nz for a complete list of candidates and their details. If you do this soon, you may even be able to post a question for all of them to answer!
Good on you for encouraging people to vote. Local government can have a profound impact on communities so it essential people have their say, regardless of who they support.
