Resolution number RD/2017/70 MOVED by Deputy Chairperson P Pirrie, seconded by Member C Brewer: That the Rodney Local Board: a) provide the following feedback to the governing body for inclusion in the Auckland Council’s submission to the Justice and Electoral Select Committee’s “Inquiry into the 2016 local authority elections”: i. candidates should be permitted to file their nomination forms and supporting material online; this is particularly important for rural candidates who had to travel a considerable distance to attend one of the few service centres or locations authorised to take enrolments in 2016 ii. more information should be made available to prospective candidates on the role and duties of being an elected member and, in particular, that candidate information evenings (which were run by Auckland Council in 2013 but not in 2016) should be widely held to provide more information and insight into the expectations of an elected member; this may help establish both realistic expectations for new candidates and encourage more high quality candidates to stand for local government iii. online voting should be made available as a priority for the 2019 local government elections, noting that this is one of the few ways to combat the ongoing decline in voter turnout in local government elections, especially in younger voters iv. the Electoral Commission should do more to assist in raising the profile of local government elections and the importance of voting and not leave this solely to local government and the candidates.
