Voting stats for 24 September 2025
Big friendly "Kia ora" to the 8,125 people who have voted in Whangarei District so far! We're stoked to see a strong start in our voting stats but there's still 87.9% of eligable voters who haven't ranked their candidates yet.
If you don't have your voting papers we can help you cast a Special Vote. Come and see us at Te Iwitahi (civic centre) or the Ruakākā service centre. We also have some Special Vote events, like on Saturday 4 October 2025 at the Elections Lounge in the central library.
Voting closes at noon on 11 October 2025 which sounds like ages but it's really not. Time to make some tough decisions and rank those candidates!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
