Poll: Do you think online voting should be included as a voting method or not?

Hautai from Nawton

Hi everyone,

This is my opinion.

Hi everyone,

This is my opinion.
I hope online voting happens. People could use their real.me accounts or do a voice activation or just connect via their email or something to carry out the voting and to authenticate themselves. Another option could be that codes are sent to phones,emails, addresses to verify themselves and their location so they can vote.
If online voting is made available I believe it will be utilised and there will be more voting occurring as many people use the internet and technology and it's convenient and can save time.
Also, if voting is available for council based elections and it is successful it would signal and support the need to incorporate this into the Elections for politicians and parties. Furthermore, online voting could be utilised for referendums and other things.
The NZ Census was available online this year and was completed for the 12 residents at home and there weren't any technical issues etc.
That's my thoughts anyway, thought I'd share in case others did not see this article and are interested in the topic and my opinion 😁.
Feel free to comment if you can (it's my first time creating a poll on here).

Home safety checklist: Fall-proofing your home when over 65...

With cooler weather embracing the country, you may find you’re not getting out and about as much. So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.

Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.

The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Poll: Would you participate in online voting?

Kelley Tantau Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hi neighbours! In 2016, Hamilton City Council decided against trialing online voting for local elections. If given the chance, do you think HCC should take up the offer and test out online voting in the city? Would you vote virtually? Do you think it would increase voter turnout?

Did you know that three families lose a loved one to suicide every two days? You can help change this by donating to Mike King's work.

The current “harden up, stay staunch and let’s not talk about it” attitude is a problem. By changing this attitude, lives will be saved. Every dollar raised enables Mike to continue his vital work with communities across NZ.

The Appliance Shed is leading a fundraising campaign to support Mike King's Key To Life Trust. Read more about the long-standing relationship Appliance Shed has with Mike King here

The Key to Life Trust equips our nation's young people to check in on their mates and remind them it’s okay to ask for help. It’s important we all feel valued and know that someone has our backs when times are tough. Please donate and make a difference in your community.
