Moved house? Change your enrolment details!Every year tens of thousands of New Zealanders move house, and thousands get removed from the electoral roll because they have forgotten to enrol at their new address.
If electoral mail gets returned and there’s no new address then you will be removed from the electoral roll says Robert Peden, Chief Electoral Officer. “It’s really important that you update your details every time you move house,” says Mr Peden. “Otherwise we can’t send you important electoral information such as voting papers.” This is especially important with the local elections just weeks away. Voting papers for the local elections will be posted to enrolled voters in September, and can only be sent out to those who are enrolled by August 12. “If you’ve moved house, or had any other changes to your details, you need to update your details now,” says Mr Peden. If you have received a pack for someone not living at your address, cross it out and re-post it so that the records can be updated. Those enrolling after August 12 will need to cast a special vote, and will need to contact their local council for voting papers. Checking your enrolment details only takes a minute and can be done online at www.elections.org.nz/enrol, or by calling 0800 36 76 56. |
