Local Government elections (also referred to as Local Authority Elections) throughout New Zealand are held by postal vote every three years and run by the local authority (the Tasman District Council). Our next triennial election will be held in 2022.
General Elections are run by the Electoral Commission (not the Tasman District Council).
Elections are conducted under the provisions of the Local Electoral Act 2001, the Local Electoral Regulations 2001, and the Local Government Act 2002.
