By-election for Lyttelton–Mt Herbert Community Board

A by-election will be held to elect a new Lyttelton–Mt Hebert Community Board member after the resignation of Jane Broughton on Tuesday 4 November.

With more than 12 months to the next triennial election a by-election must be held, but with statutory holidays on the way, the usual timetable will be changed slightly.

Public notice of the election and call for nominations has taken place today (Monday 24 November 2014). Nominations will close at noon on Monday 22 December 2014. The election is a postal ballot – if more than one nomination is received, voting forms will be sent out via post, with polling day at noon on Tuesday 17 February 2015.
