Voting papers in the mail
Voting papers for the Massey Community Board by-election are being delivered to eligible voters from today (Monday).
The papers are expected to be delivered to eligible Massey ward residents by Saturday, February 21 with voting closing at midday on Wednesday, March 11.
Eight candidates are vying for the vacancy left by the resignation of Michael Neeson. They are Arthur Albert, Bob Jessopp, Gayleen Jacqueline Maurice, Leigh Morrow, Brian Neeson, Karen Perri, Graeme Smith and Jean Webster.
Waitakere City Council had asked the government to consider changing legislation to avoid a costly by-election taking place around the same time as a report on Auckland regional governance was due to be released.
However the Secretary for Local Government has advised the council that the window of opportunity to change the legislation was too small.
People who have not received their papers by then should contact Waitakere City Council’s Electoral office at 836 8000 ext 8712.
