Local Body Elections! Vote now please everyone!
Message from Helen Clark. She gave me approval to reproduce it here.
It’s #timetovote ! The decisions our elected local government representatives make are important. In #newzealand 🇳🇿, we elect our mayors, councillors, and district health board, community board, and licensing trust members every three years.
If you are on the electoral roll, you will have received your voting 🗳 papers already: make sure you fill them in and post them back NOW - they need to be with the returning officers for the election no later than midday on Saturday 12 October.
If you are not enrolled, you can enrol online on the New Zealand Electoral Commission website; if you do that before October 11 you can still vote in these elections.
If you are enrolled but not currently in #NZ, you can get your voting papers posted to you by contacting the electoral officer for your area. All details are on the above mentioned website. You will need to act quickly now if you are to receive them and send them back in time.
I filled my papers in over breakfast in #connecticut 🇺🇸 this morning and posted them back! Don’t forget to post yours!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
