Make Sure You Have Your Say On The Super City

PRESS RELEASE

For immediate release: Wednesday 5 May 2010


Make Sure You Have Your Say On The Super City

Our Auckland invites everyone interested in the Super City Referendum to help spread the word about Our Auckland's "Weekend of Action" by attending a meeting at 10am on Saturday 8 May at the Ponsonby Community Centre.

"We want everyone to have their say on the Super City, and not everyone has access to the internet, so our aim is to get ballot papers and ballot boxes out to every corner and community of the Auckland Region. To do that we need help so come along and pick up a voting pack for your group or community," says spokesperson Mels Barton from Waitakere City.

"We only have eight days for voting from May 6-14, so getting people involved is vital. We need everyone to spread the word and make sure everyone casts their vote - it's the only one you're going to get."

Voting will be possible via the Our Auckland website at www.ourauckland.org.nz and a ballot paper will be printed in The Aucklander newspaper (free with the NZ Herald on Thursday 6 May). There will also be a more detailed survey on the website for people to express their views.

Photocopies of the ballot paper are welcome, and completed papers can be sent to Our Auckland, The Aucklander, PO Box 32, Auckland Mail Centre. Ballot boxes will also be available at libraries in North Shore City and Rodney District.


Volunteers can also sign up to the Our Auckland group on Facebook, via the website at www.ourauckland.org.nz or follow OurAuckland on Twitter.

The Our Auckland campaign hotline is 021 210 1711.
