YOUR VOTE REALLY DOES MATTER.
The voting papers have now been posted out to you (if you are enrolled to vote). You have until 12 noon on Election Day 12 October 2019 to cast your vote.
This is what you do - select the candidates you wish to vote for on your voting papers, seal your pre-paid envelope and put your completed voting papers in a post box on or before 8 October 2019 to ensure they arrive by midday on 12 October. You can also drop your voting papers into one of the ballot boxes in at Council’s Customer Services desk or at the Nelson or Stoke library up to midday on Saturday 12 October.
IF YOU HAVEN’T ENROLLED YET?
Don’t worry, it isn’t too late!
You won’t get your voting papers sent to you in the mail, but you can request special voting papers from Nelson City Council’s Electoral Officer at elections@ncc.govt.nz or go in & see the friendly people at the Council’s Customer Service desk & they will help you.
IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR DETAILS ON THE ELECTORAL ROLL?
Any changes to the residential roll, such as name or address, can be made directly by telephoning 0800 ENROL NOW (0800 367 656) or by going on to the Electoral Commission website, elections.org.nz.

Our democracy is precious.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️
Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.
We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
Is this something your household would actually participate in! ♻️
