Preliminary results of the 2022 Kāpiti Coast District Council elections have resulted in some changes to the progress results issued yesterday of candidates elected. These are subject to special votes being counted and the final results being confirmed on Thursday, so results may still change.

Karl Webber has been provisionally elected to the Paraparaumu Community Board.

Two candidates, Kathy Speirs and Rob Kofoed, have been provisionally elected as Paraparaumu Ward and District Ward Councillors respectively, as well as to Community Boards.
