countdown eStamps

Annie from Belfast

Hi to anyone that may have some spare countdown eStamps. I've just had an email from countdown to say that tomorrow is the last day to earn these eStamps, I have 21 stamps and have been trying to get to the required 45 for the steak knifes. If anyone has any spare I would really love them … View moreHi to anyone that may have some spare countdown eStamps. I've just had an email from countdown to say that tomorrow is the last day to earn these eStamps, I have 21 stamps and have been trying to get to the required 45 for the steak knifes. If anyone has any spare I would really love them please.
I'm not exactly sure how this works, but I believe that if I give my one card number anyone can transfer their unwanted ones onto my card
my number is 948 006 985 3129
Would really appreciate any that aren't going to be used.
cheers Annie

Residents who have enrolled to vote should expect voting papers to arrive in their letter boxes between September 16 and 21, Christchurch City Council electoral officer Jo Daly says.

Voting opens today (September 16) and closes at noon on October 8.

“Each enrolled voter will receive an information and candidate profiles booklet, a voting paper and a pre-paid return envelope," Daly said.

"Voters will be able to choose a mayoral candidate, a ward councillor and community board members and Environment Canterbury councillors in their ward.”

Find your ward and community board: www.ccc.govt.nz...

“Once you have decided which of the candidates you wish to vote for, please complete your voting form, put it in the pre-paid return envelope and post or deliver it.

"When posting, voting documents should be mailed no later than 5pm on October 4 to guarantee delivery before the close of voting."

Completed voting documents can also be hand delivered during opening hours to ballot boxes at the Civic Offices, 53 Hereford St or to your nearest council library or service centre.

“If you don’t receive your voting papers and you are eligible you can still cast a special vote. Special voting documents can be issued from the Civic Offices and from selected service centres or by emailing elections2022@ccc.govt.nz or phoning 03 941 8999,” Daly said.

The preliminary results of the local body elections should be available on the afternoon of election day, October 8.
