“Now that nominations have closed, the Electoral Commission will begin printing and distributing ballot papers, to be ready for the start of advance voting on Wednesday 8 June,” says Robert Peden, Chief Electoral Officer.
“Te Tai Tokerau voters who will be outside their electorate on Saturday 25 June should vote in advance, because polling places will only be available inside the electorate on Election Day,” says Mr Peden.
Advance voting will be available from Wednesday 8 June in the Te Tai Tokerau electorate.
“Advance voting is also available at the offices of any Registrar of Electors outside the electorate, or at the Electoral Commission, Whitmore Street, Wellington,” says Mr Peden. Full information on advance voting is available on our website.
