Poll: Do you think online voting should be included as a voting method or not?

Hautai from Nawton

Hi everyone,

This is my opinion.
I hope online voting happens. People could use their real.me accounts or do a voice activation or just connect via their email or something to carry out the voting and to authenticate themselves. Another option could be that codes are sent to phones,emails, addresses to verify themselves and their location so they can vote.
If online voting is made available I believe it will be utilised and there will be more voting occurring as many people use the internet and technology and it's convenient and can save time.
Also, if voting is available for council based elections and it is successful it would signal and support the need to incorporate this into the Elections for politicians and parties. Furthermore, online voting could be utilised for referendums and other things.
The NZ Census was available online this year and was completed for the 12 residents at home and there weren't any technical issues etc.
That's my thoughts anyway, thought I'd share in case others did not see this article and are interested in the topic and my opinion 😁.
Feel free to comment if you can (it's my first time creating a poll on here).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
