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.

Comparing pricing between Supermarkets.
A couple of weeks ago I purchased a
...1000gm block of Mainland Tasty Cheese $21.49 from New World Durham Street.
As I was requiring a large amount of cheese, I purchased the next day another
...700gm block of Mainland Tasty Cheese $21.79 from Fresh Choice Edgeware.
I phoned the second supermarket and queried the price and was told that their pricing is controlled by head office.
I can understand 30cents difference in price but when it was 300gms smaller and 30c dearer; I can’t accept.
I feel somebody has read the wrong line when pricing this item. Which one is correct?? Or are we still being ripped off by supermarkets.
Brushed aside by the Floor Manager.

Flags across the city are being lowered to half-mast as Christchurch joins the rest of the Commonwealth in mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen, the world’s longest serving monarch, died on Friday morning at Balmoral, Scotland, at the age of 96.

In Christchurch, which the Queen visited nine times during her reign, flags are being flown at half-mast and condolence books are being opened at civic centres.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the Royal Family had been ardent supporters of the city, for which its residents would “always be grateful”.
