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.
