Be Upper Hutt’s face of Vote 2022

Upper Hutt City Council

Upper Hutt City Council are on the lookout for passionate locals to be the face of our upcoming local election campaign. Last election 43% of eligible voters voted, let’s increase that!

We’d love to chat to anyone who is passionate about local matters and wants to encourage people to stand for Council. Take Ezekiel for example, they are championing addressing climate change. What would you say? Perhaps it’s the environment, infrastructure, local economy or accessibility?

I’m interested, tell me more you say! We want to create pictures like this one of Ezekiel. For that we’d need to photograph you and for you to tell us what you’re passionate about. We’d need to get you to sign a release form so we can use that photo too. We’d use that information on billboards around the city and across our other channels like social media and newsletters.

Still keen? Please email askus@uhcc.govt.nz and we’ll get the conversation started.
