Look out for the election ballot boxes at a site near you soon.

For voter convenience, we’re providing voting boxes at every Wellington supermarket, Council library and several other locations – and they're all on a handy map with a list of locations so you can vote when you shop, walk the dog, get off the bus, or on the way to work.

Voting packs will be posted out from Friday 16 September. Open it, read it, mark it, and send it or drop it off before midday on Saturday 8 October.
