Voting Packs Go Out
Registered voters in the region
can expect to receive their voting packs for positions on
the Gisborne District Council and Tairawhiti District Health
Board (Hauora Tairawhiti), in the post from today (Friday 16
September).
“All voting papers should be delivered to your letterbox by Wednesday 21 September,” says Council democracy support services manager Heather Kohn.
Included in voting packs are voting documents, candidate information directories and freepost envelopes for returning voting documents.
Completed voting documents can be returned by
post at any post shop or post box, but it is recommended
that they be posted by Wednesday 5 October or returned to
your nearest Council office up until 12noon Saturday 8
October.
Ms Kohn says voting results are expected to be
announced between noon and 3pm on 8 October and can be
viewed online at www.gdc.govt.nz .
Final results will be
confirmed and made available on Thursday 13
October.
“Voters who have not enrolled can still do so
at any post shop, however you will need to request special
voting documents from your local council electoral officer,
as electoral rolls have closed.”
“The local body elections are your chance to have a say in decisions that shape your city. For more information on how this works visit www.gdc.govt.nz.”
