Voting papers arriving from today

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

3-tier home-made worm farm (wooden) ($40)

Richard from Rangiora

This is an awesome little backyard 3-tier worm farm. (Start with one tier, when full, add the second, then the third. Always feed only the top tier.)

I made this from wood as I didn't want a big plastic thing in my backyard. It works great. Ideal for a domestic garden.

For an extra $10 I'll give you some starting mix with worms.

Pick up from Rangiora. (We need to exchange mobile numbers before pickup.)

(I'm selling because I've up-scaled to a much bigger set-up.)
