Malvern Community Board by-election candidates confirmed
Seven candidates have put their names forward for a place on the Malvern Community Board.
Nominations in by-elections closed at midday Thursday, with three nominations received for one vacancy in the Hawkins Subdivision and five* nominations received for one vacancy in the Tawera Subdivision.
Voter packs will be mailed out to enrolled electors next month. The voting period closes at midday on Friday, December 15.
Special voting facilities will be available from the Darfield Service Centre/Library or the council headquarters in Rolleston throughout the voting period for anyone eligible who doesn’t receive a voter pack or needs replacement voting papers.

Candidate profiles and contact details will be made available on the Selwyn council's website or on request from the deputy electoral officer: electoral.officer@selwyn.govt.nz.
