If you haven’t received a letter, you can also check that you are enrolled, or update your details, via www.vote.nz  You can also use this site to check to see if you are eligible to vote, or if you need to enrol in order to vote for the first time.

Anyone who will turn 18 by the time of the elections, October 8, is able to pre enrol now. They will then be automatically enrolled on their 18th birthday.

In September, your voting papers will be posted to the address you have provided in your electoral details, so it is important your information is up to date.

To check your details, or to enrol, you can also pop into the Wairoa District Council office and fill in a form or call 0800 36 76 56 and ask for a form to be sent to you.

After this Friday, August 12, anyone who is not enrolled will need to arrange a special vote by contacting the Wairoa District Council Electoral Officer Juanita Savage at the Council by phoning 06 838 7309.
