Christchurch East By-Election Candidates Announced
The Electoral Commission has released the candidate and voting place details for the Saturday 30 November by-election in
the Christchurch East electorate.
Ten candidates are seeking election as the Christchurch East Member of Parliament, and twenty-four voting places will be
open on Election Day.
Nominations for the by-election have closed, and the following candidates have been confirmed:

“Now that nominations have closed, the Electoral Commission will begin printing and distributing ballot papers, to be
ready for the start of advance voting on Wednesday 13 November,” says Robert Peden, Chief Electoral Officer.
“Christchurch East voters who will be outside their electorate on Saturday 30 November should vote in advance, because
voting places will only be available inside the electorate on Election Day,” says Mr Peden.
Advance voting will be available from Wednesday 13 November for the Christchurch East electorate.
“There will be four advance voting places around the electorate, and people can also vote at the offices of Registrars
of Electors throughout the country and at the Electoral Commission in Wellington,” says Mr Peden. “Full information
about where, when and how to vote in advance is available on our website www.elections.org.nz or by calling 0800 36 76
