Elections

Ngaa Pootitanga

Our next local election and a binding poll on Maaori wards is on Saturday 11 October 2025

Voting ensures you have a say on what’s important to you, your whaanau, your haapu, your town, your rohe, and your community.

Ask yourself – are the candidates the best people to support and grow your community? If you feel your voice isn’t being heard on the issues that matter – it’s time to speak up!

The elections are held every three years by postal vote.
