Enrolments are facilitated by the Electoral Commission. To be on the published roll, you have until 12 noon, 1 August to register online or using mail-in forms.
Forms can be picked up from some NZ Post outlets or can be ordered through the Electoral Commission’s toll-free number 0800 36 76 56. Forms are also available at our service centres and district libraries.
Any enrolment option requires the voter to have a form of ID (either passport or driver’s licence) or a New Zealand Government RealMe account.
Once you’re enrolled, you’ll be able to vote for your preferred candidates, and participate in the Māori ward poll which will determine if the ward remains in place for the 2028 and 2031 local government elections.
