Candidate registrations for the 2025 Local Elections closed at 12 noon on Friday 1 August, and with 44 nominations, numbers have exceeded those of the 2022 Local Elections.
Whangarei District Council Chief Executive Simon Weston says the increase in candidate numbers shows that local democracy is alive and well in our District.
"We have 14 seats to fill at Council, and it’s heartening to see 44 candidates come forward from our community," says Mr Weston.
"Every seat will be contested, with excellent diversity in the candidate list for 2025. We’re seeing more ‘first time’ candidates putting their hands up. We have candidates from all walks of life, backgrounds and skill sets."
"This is good news for local democracy and for our District, and I look forward to a stimulating elections campaign period."
Voting in local elections will run from 9 September through to midday 11 October.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
