With just a few days left until voting closes in the local elections, Waikirikiri Selwyn voters are being urged to get their votes in as soon as possible.

Votes must be received by the Council by 12 midday this Saturday (11 October). For anyone yet to vote, the best option is to drop completed voting papers in one of the ballot boxes across the district.

Ballot boxes are located at the Council’s Rolleston offices, at the Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln Library and Service Centres, Te Ara Ātea, Selwyn Aquatic Centre, Selwyn Sports Centre, Lincoln Event Centre, and West Melton Community and Recreation Centre during normal open hours all week, and right up to 12 midday this Saturday.

You can also find your nearest ballot box through our interactive map .

People who are eligible to vote but haven’t received voting papers, or who have moved since they last enrolled, can apply for a special vote by contacting the Council on 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or email. Voters can also apply for a special vote at the Council Rolleston offices, or the Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln Library and Service Centres, and at Te Ara Ātea, during open hours.

Preliminary results for the elections are expected to be available from mid-afternoon on Saturday and will be published on the Council website as soon as they are available.
