Voting in the Auckland Council elections

Map of Howick Ward

Council elections are done via post - sometime between 16 and 21 September you should receive your voting papers in your mailbox. If they don't arrive, call the Electoral Office on 0800 922 822.

In the Howick Ward, we will be asked to vote for:

  • Mayor (one position = one vote)

  • Councillor (two positions = two votes)

  • Local Board (three positions = three votes)

Howick Local Board is split into three sub-divisions (Howick, Pakuranga and Botany) so depending where you live, you'll have different candidates to choose from. We all get the same candidates for Mayor and Councillor. 

If you're not sure who you can vote for - go to the Auckland Council website and enter your address to see the list of candidates in your area.

Once you've voted, you can return your papers by

  • Post using any New Zealand Post box before Monday 3 October 2022 

  • Drop Off at any Library or Countdown before midday Saturday 8 October 2022

Voting Boxes are located in Libraries and Countdown supermarkets
