Four days left to vote for Hamilton’s next mayor, whether or not to keep Māori wards

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Time is running out to have your say in the future shape of the city, but if a street poll of Hamiltonians is any indication, the prevailing mood is: “We’ll get around to it”.

With just four days left for Hamiltonians to vote in the 2025 local elections, only 20,100 votes have been received – a puny 17.4% of the city’s 115,433 enrolled voters.
