Make your vote count
If you haven’t received your local election voting papers in the mail you may not be enrolled to vote.
To check if you’re enrolled, visit vote.nz/ your local PostShop or phone 0800 36 76 56.
If you enrolled after 16 August 2019 - for example, if you turned 18 after this date or moved address recently - you won’t get your voting papers in the mail. You’ll have to request special voting papers from the Council’s electoral officers by emailing election@marlborough.govt.nz, or by phoning 03 520 7400.
All voting papers must be returned by 12 noon on Saturday 12 October.
