Hawke's Bay Reorganisation Poll

Binding poll to decide on the proposal to establish a single

Hawke’s Bay Council for the Hawke’s Bay Region.

FINAL RESULT

I declare the result for the Hawke's Bay Reorganisation Poll held on Tuesday 15 September. I confirm that the

official result was determined after the scrutiny of the roll was completed, the validity of all special votes was

determined and all valid votes were counted.

Hawke's Bay Reorganisation Poll Votes Received %
