Meet the Porirua voters who are voting for the first time
Voting is something we all take for granted but for a group of Porirua residents it is something they have to learn.
At English Language Partners in Porirua, new arrivals (including refugees) are learning about our voting system and how it works.
In countries like China and Myanmar, democracy is not encouraged and the concept of voting is foreign. Teachers at Language Partners have to explain to them how voting works and how they can choose how to vote for.
Wellington Registrar of Electors Erin Marsh says research shows new Kiwis tend not to vote; they join Māori, Pacific and young people in those most underrepresented at the polls.
