The nomination period for the 2022 local body elections has closed with 43 of council and mayoral candidates putting their hand up to stand for Invercargill City Council.

“The voting period begins on Friday, September 16 and ends on Saturday, October 8 at midday,” Morris said.
“Now is the time for voters to look out for lots of information about candidates and different events being held so they can be informed and make a decision on who you want to represent you, the city and Bluff.”

Council Chief Executive Clare Hadley said people are passionate about Council and its work.
“This is your moment to have your voice heard and to cast your vote for the person who represents what you want to see in our city,” Hadley said.
“Take the time to think about the issues we face as a community and who you think would best be suited to tackle them.”

Invercargill City Council, Southland District Council, Gore District Council, and Environment Southland have come together in collaboration for Vote Murihiku 2022 to encourage as many people as possible across Murihiku Southland to take part in the elections this year.

There was a voting hub planned for the Invercargill Central mall on Esk St, which would be a place where people can come to get all the information they may need to take part in the democratic process, to drop off their postal vote, or do a special vote, Morris said.
