How to cast a special vote in a local election
✅✅ You may need to cast a special vote in a local election if:
• you enrolled after the roll closed on 1 August 2025
• you are on the unpublished electoral roll
• your new address on the electoral roll is out of date, and you have been living at a new address for at least a month
• your voting papers are lost or damaged
• you are voting as a ratepayer elector (for a property you own that is in a different council area to the one you live in).
If you need to cast a special vote in the local election, you can do this by mail or in person at a ‘special voting location’.
Your local council will publish a list of special voting locations, and when they are open, on their website. You can find your local council website here: lgnz.co.nz.... The locations are usually public libraries.
If you cannot get to a special voting location, you can contact the Electoral Officer at your council to request a special voting pack. Do this as soon as possible so you can meet the deadline for posting your vote by mail, which is 7 October 2025. After this date, votes must be returned to council’s secure ballot boxes by midday 11 October 2025 when voting closes.
