Preliminary results are now in.

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

Thank you for your patience while our preliminary results were processed today. It took more time than anticipated, as we had almost double what we received in the last few days of the previous election!

Thank you to all of you who voted. We don’t mind waiting if it means more of you participated in local democracy.

Preliminary results, reflect about 95% of votes returned but do not include special votes. These give us a good indication of what our Council, Community Boards and the Māori Ward referendum might look like. But it is important to note, final results are not expected until Friday 17 October.

👉Preliminary results provisionally indicate the Kapiti Coast Māori Ward will remain in place for the 2028 and 2031 local elections.

👉Preliminary results show Janet Holborow re-elected as Mayor for the 2025–2028 triennium.

👉There are a couple of changes from yesterday’s progress results. These are for the Kapiti Coast Māori Ward and the Waikanae Community Board.

Full preliminary results for Council, community board seats, and the Māori ward are now available - www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
