Cosy retro "Elections Lounge" in the Central Library

The Team from Whangarei District Council

We've set up a cosy retro "Elections Lounge" where you can watch candidate videos, learn about the Māori Wards Poll and the STV voting system. 🕺 It's a vibe!

Two of the visitors this morning were Myra and baby Araiteuru. Myra said "It's important to know who's running for Council, and what they can bring for our District".

It's free at the Central Library all the way up until voting closes on Saturday 11 October 2025. The library's normal opening-hours apply.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
