You can vote for as many or as few people as you like!

If you have not voted and are still considering who to vote for it may be worth checking out policy local policylocal.thespinoff.co.nz...

Resident Roll: All parliamentary electors, including those on the Māori Electoral Roll, are automatically enrolled on the Resident Roll, at the address where they live.

Any alterations to the Resident Roll (eg change of address details, including new postal addresses) should be made by: −
completing the appropriate form at any post shop;
phoning 0800 ENROLNOW (0800 367 656)
on the Electoral Commission website on www.elections.org.nz...

If a person is on the parliamentary roll in one area and pays rates on a property in another area, e.g. is on the roll in Porirua, but owns a property in the Wairarapa, this person may be eligible to be enrolled on the non-resident ratepayer roll.

A firm, company, corporation or society paying rates on a property may nominate one of its members or officers as a ratepayer elector (provided the nominated person resides outside the area). Ratepayer Roll enrolment forms are available at all Council offices.
