Everything you need to know about voting and the 2022 Local Election
Local Elections 2022 - How to Vote
From 16 September – 21 September Local Election 2022 voting papers and candidates information packs will be sent by post to everyone who is registered to vote.
By Post: The pack will have instructions on how to complete the voting paper and has a prepaid envelope to return votes by post. Completed voting papers must be received by noon on 8 October, so votes will need to be posted back a few days prior to the deadline.
In Person: Alternatively, orange voting bins will be available at 96 West End Kaikōura - both on the 1st floor by the Library and at the Council Reception on the 2nd floor. So if you’ve left it a bit late to post your vote in time or just find it more convenient, you can also vote in person at those locations.
Proposed Kaikōura Class 4 Gambling Policy
As required by the Gambling Act 2003 and the Local Government Act 2002, Kaikōura District Council is reviewing its current Kaikōura Class 4 Gambling Policy.
Amongst other matters the Policy must state whether Class 4 gaming machines are able to be established in the District, where they may be located, and the maximum number of machines allowed in the District. As a result of the review changes are proposed, including reducing the maximum number of machines from the current maximum of 60, to a new maximum of 27.
A more detailed Statement of Proposal and a copy of the proposed changes to the Policy is available from Council on its website www.kaikoura.govt.nz/latest-news, on request from the Council office (03) 319 5026, or by email admin@kaikoura.govt.nz.
