In the lead up to the 2020 election, Stuff is keeping voters up to date with what’s happening in their electorate, through Neighbourly. Here’s what you need to know about the candidates in the running to be Te Tai Hauāuru's MP.
At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.
Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.
Why does my MP matter?
The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you’re having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn’t enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.

Billy Scott was scootering back from his local dairy with his friends on Saturday evening when the driver, who had allegedly been drinking, lost control of his car and hit him on the footpath. The impact caused Billy to “fly through the air like an angel” before hitting his head on a fence.
Paramedics told his mum, Samantha Millan it was a miracle that he only suffered minor injuries.

At English Language Partners in Porirua, new arrivals (including refugees) are learning about our voting system and how it works.
In countries like China and Myanmar, democracy is not encouraged and the concept of voting is foreign. Teachers at Language Partners have to explain to them how voting works and how they can choose how to vote for.
Wellington Registrar of Electors Erin Marsh says research shows new Kiwis tend not to vote; they join Māori, Pacific and young people in those most underrepresented at the polls.

You may have noted, there's a growing demand for affordable dental care for adults, especially the senior citizens.
You can personally facilitate the response to this movement by requesting the services of Oratoa Dental in Porirua available to all without restriction.
It used to be available to anyone until a few years ago. Then they started to discriminate saying only people within Porirua will qualify.
Can we join hands to rectify this?

I'm so excited to finally be sharing a project our team has been working on for a while now: First Rung, our first podcast!
First Rung is packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home - it also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
Over six, bite sized episodes, we cover everything from saving that deposit, to sunset clauses, to how to get your newly purchased home ready to move into.
We'll also introduce you to ordinary Kiwis, just like you, who have navigated the choppy waters of home buying in NZ and made it onto that first rung - and pick their brains for how they did it.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
So give it a listen and let us know what you think - and be in to win that mint Resene prize pack. I can't enter and I'm well jealous!
Disappointed with organisation at the local early polling booth at Tawa Community Centre this morning as they didn’t have enough paperwork for the Mana electorate and Special votes had to be completed. Long delays and queue
