“Ikaroa-Rāwhiti voters who will be outside their electorate on Saturday 29 June should vote in advance, because voting places will only be available inside the electorate on Election Day,” says Mr Peden.
Advance voting will be available from Wednesday 12 June for the Ikaroa-Rāwhiti electorate.
“Advance voting places are in many places throughout the electorate, and people can also vote at the offices of Registrars of Electors throughout the country,” says Mr Peden. “Full information about where, when and how to vote in advance is available on our website www.elections.org.nz or by calling 0800 36 76 56.”
