I've made every effort to ensure the list is as complete as possible. However, if you want your information added or corrected, please let me know by email.
Please note that some of the Facebook links are personal pages rather than public pages and access may be dependent on your being a member of Facebook, and being a friend of a friend of the candidate.

So who do i vote for? I don't really know who any of them are. I don't really work or shop in the Hastings District, but I am to vote in it. I had to look up this page for find out who they were. Have not seen 1 sign or had a visit or community meeting in our part of the district. But I can tell you most of Napiers candidate and I know who they are!!
ReplyDeleteHi Anon, a really good start would be to bowl into the HB Today offices and ask for back copies. Sat 17/09 was really good issue and earlier in the week they published a whole book with relevant ads and candidate statements.
ReplyDeleteI'll be reading those up as well as the links above before I cast my vote. All the best, Dunc :-)
Well done Duncan. With turnout generally under 50% anything that helps inform potential voters is a move in the right direction. So may people think Local Government does not affect them whereas councils affect their lives on a daily basis to a much greater extent than anything else including electricity, telecommunications and government.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, happy to do my part. It all started with my own quest for info to make an informed decision. All the best for the election :-)
