Press Release: Takapuna Community Board
Takapuna Community Election
As a result of the death of Mr
Wayne Tisdall on 3 October 2006, an extraordinary vacancy
exists in the office of an elected member of the Takapuna
Community Board.
Given the extraordinary vacancy occurred
more than 12 months before the next triennial general
election (13 October 2007), the vacancy must be filled by an
election.
As Council became aware of the vacancy "in the
period that begins on 28 September in any year and ends with
the close of 20 November in that year, the polling day for
the election must be a day not earlier than 10 February in
the following year". In view of this provision of the Local
Electoral Act 2001, polling day will be Saturday, 10
February 2007.
The election will be conducted by postal
voting using the First Past the Post system.
Nominations
will open on Friday, 24 November 2006 and will close with
Electoral Officer Peter McArthur at 12 noon on Friday, 22
December 2006.
The anticipated cost of the election is
$60,000.
