Elections
When are the local election? Has anybody heard anything about their local people who are standing? I have had one lot of info from Papakura Action Team, that's all, very appreciated. Where are all the others. Does anyone know anything about who is standing for Mayor apart from our current Mayor who is standing again. We use to get information about the local candidates in our local papers, now we don't even receive a local paper. So where are we to get all the info we need to look at, not 2/3 days before the election and not from the Computer, not all our Seniors don't use the computer for those reason Do you really expect people more people to vote this elections, I'd be very surprised.
