Local Body Elections

John from Island Bay

Is your local body election voting papers sitting somewhere at home untouched? At the same time have you been one of the many that have grizzled about the quality of those that represented us over the past three years, or the 47% increase in rates during that time, or some of the changes to the city that tend to benefit a minority rather than what's best for the majority of its citizens? Local Government Election Day is now less than a week away (voting closes at noon on Saturday 11 October, with Tuesday 7 October the last day for postal voting – after which voting papers must be dropped off at council ballot boxes to be counted). Lets get a more meaningful voting turnout this election. And please don't be put off by the STV form of voting. You only have to rank in preference those candidates that you like. It is not necessary to put a ranking number by those candidates you don't like. In other words you can vote for as many or as few candidates as you like.
