The post box is your ballot box
< 19 September 2007 The
post box is your ballot box If the future of your city,
district or region is important then make sure you vote in
this year's local body elections. From Friday, all
enrolled electors will receive their voting documents in the
post. Voters have three weeks to choose the elected
representatives they want and post back their voting
documents. Dale Ofsoske, electoral officer for four of
the Auckland region's eight councils, says elected
representatives make choices that affect everything from the
maintenance of parks to regional growth and planning.
"Voters should think carefully about the best people to
represent them. Voting is important and easy to do." Mr
Ofsoske says voters need to make their choices and get their
votes in the post by Thursday 11 October. "Remember this
election, the post box is your ballot box." Elections are
being held for: * mayor, councillors and community board
members in your territorial authority (city or district)
* Auckland Regional Council members * District Health Board
members * and licensing trust members in some
areas. Voting closes at midday on Saturday 13 October, and
some councils will have drop-off points on election day for
those who have missed the postal deadline. To contact your
local electoral officer visit your council's
website. ENDS
