Voting packs are now arriving in homes across the Waikato District. Inside is your chance to have a say on the people and issues that will shape our future together.
This year, there are more ‘Meet the Candidate’ events than ever before, hosted by community groups right across our district. These events are valuable opportunities to hear directly from those standing for mayor, councillor and community board seats, and the chance to ask the questions that matter to you.
While the election campaign is underway, our work at Council continues. Every day we are delivering the services and projects that keep our communities running – from rubbish and recycling, to roads, libraries, parks and water.
Remember, voting closes at midday on Saturday 11 October 2025. Please complete your voting paper as soon as you can and return it using the freepost envelope, or drop it at any Council office or library.
Every vote makes a difference. By taking part, you ensure our Council reflects the voices, priorities, and aspirations of the people who live here.
Your vote is your voice. Please use it.
Ngaa mihi,
Craig Hobbs
Chief Executive, Waikato District Council
