Time running out to make voting easy

 

 

Time is running out for people wanting to make voting easy in the September 23 general election.

Around 450,000 eligible New Zealanders still haven’t enrolled to vote and more than half of them are under 30.

Enrol by August 23 and you will be sent an EasyVote pack at the start of the voting period. It gives you everything you need to make voting easy, including a personalised EasyVote card.

“Your EasyVote pack is especially important if it’s your first time voting, because it gives you all the information you need in one handy place – a list of candidates and parties, and addresses and opening hours of all advance and election day voting places,” says Alicia Wright, Chief Electoral Officer.

The deadline to be included on the printed electoral roll, which is used in voting places and for sending out EasyVote packs, is Wednesday August 23. Anyone enrolled after that date will have to cast a special declaration vote.

“You can still enrol right up until the day before election day, including at any advance voting place,” says Ms Wright, “but you’ll need to make a special vote. A special vote takes a bit longer and means filling in an extra form. That’s why we encourage people to get enrolled now. We want to make voting as easy as possible for everyone.”

Enrolling is easy. Voters can freetext their name and address to 3676, get a form from a PostShop or call Freephone 0800 36 76 56. People can also enrol or update details online at elections.org.nz.
