Making a stand for your community

For the 2016 elections Local Government New Zealand is running a campaign, www.lgnz.co.nz/vote2016/, until the 8 October polling date aiming to lift voter numbers above 50% nationally for the first time since 1998. Local election turnout in New Zealand has been declining since the 1980s, and in 2013 was only 42% of New Zealanders.

If you are thinking of standing as a candidate in the Kāpiti Coast District Council elections you may find the following resources helpful:

  • a Candidates' Handbook - available here [PDF 3.88 MB]), and in hard copy on request.  A final version will be available by the end of May
  • Local Government New Zealand have published 'A candidate's guide to local authority elections' - available here
  • An article 'So you want to be a councillor?' first published in the April issue of the New Zealand Local Government Magazine - available here [PDF 52 KB]

    • Four community boards each with four elected members and the Ward Councillor for the following communities: Ōtaki, Waikanae, Paraparaumu-Raumati, and Paekākāriki.
