The election cycle has gotten VERY interesting and this is an evening you don't want to miss - Get answers from local electorate candidates on the questions that are important to you!

The doors will be open from 7:00pm.

The event is a great chance to meet the Wellington Central candidates. Each candidate will be given some time to speak and then it's from the floor question time.

In true Aro Valley, style water pistols are part of the action for those candidates who can't stick to their time limit. Let's hope the candidates remember their waterproofs!

Representing Wellington Central we have:
- James Shaw - Green Party
- Abe Gray - The Opportunities Party
- Nicola Willis - National Party
- Grant Robertson - NZ Labour Party

NB: More candidates to be added pending confirmation
