Voting in the Port Waikato by-election is due to get underway Monday.
The by-election was needed after the death of ACT candidate Neil Christensen during the election period.
Voting starts on Monday, November 13, and election day is on Saturday, November 25.
“If you’re enrolled in the Port Waikato general electorate, you should have received an EasyVote pack in the mail. It includes an EasyVote card which makes voting easier – but you can vote without it,” said deputy chief executive operations, Anusha Guler.
“If you live in the electorate and haven’t received an EasyVote pack, it means you’re not enrolled or you need to update your address on the electoral roll. Do it now, so you can have your say in the by-election.
“You can also enrol and vote at the same time at any voting place, including on election day.”
There will be 41 voting places where people can vote, including seven that will be open during advance voting.
Voting place locations and opening hours are available online at vote.nz or by calling 0800 36 76 56.
Opening hours for advance voting places vary, so people have been advised to check before they go to vote.
Voting for Port Waikato voters who are overseas opened on Wednesday, November 8, along with telephone dictation services for those who are blind, partially blind or have a physical disability that prevents them from marking their voting paper without assistance.
