Local elections are held once every three years. The elections are for city and district councils and regional councils. In some parts of New Zealand, elections will also be held for local and community boards, licensing trusts and some other organisations. The Electoral Commission does not run these elections, but is responsible for voter enrolment.
The next local Government elections are on Saturday 11 October 2025. If you are an enrolled voter, you'll get a voting information pack in the mail. You can check or update your postal address on the Electoral Commission website.
