Local government only succeeds if people who care for their communities are prepared to serve and stand for office.
As an Elected Member of Council or a community board, you’ll be making a positive difference for Kāpiti Coast’s people and communities today and into the future.
This year there will be a Māori ward alongside the general ward. Voters on the general electoral roll will vote in their general ward, while those on the Māori electoral roll will vote in the Māori ward.
The process for becoming a candidate in either ward is the same.
Candidate nominations are now open for one mayor, two districtwide councillors, one Māori ward councillor, seven general ward councillors and 20 community board members.
The nomination period is 4 July and closes 1 August at 12 noon sharp. No nominations are accepted after that time.
