Urgent Decision of the Howick Local Board to Formalise Feedback on the Evaluation of the Auckland Council Local Elections 2022

 

Resolution number HW/2023/76

MOVED by Chairperson D Light, seconded by Member A White:  

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      note the urgent decision made on 17 April 2023 to formalise the Howick Local Board’s feedback on the evaluation of the Auckland Council local elections 2022, as follows:

i)          the Board recommend the postal voting system be discontinued, noting the following reasons:

A)        it is inefficient, in many cases voting papers are forgotten, misplaced, or thrown out with junk mail, so this immediately reduces the potential voting return numbers.

B)        many potential voters did not receive voting papers, or received them late, due to the inadequate postal system.

C)        there was a low voter turnout in the recent election.

D)        if the postal voting system was discontinued, recommends a shift towards either an online voting system, which should encourage younger voters more, or run local body elections the same way as parliamentary elections and have one set day where people go to a polling booth to vote, or a combination of both. This would focus voters' attention on the one day.

ii)         in regard to candidate information and nominations, the Board note the following points for input:

A)        there was a lack of support for candidates, especially new candidates.

B)        the candidate handbook was removed from the website which created confusion, especially regarding authorisation statements and promotional rules.

C)        compliance is full of grey areas and there needs to be clarity around signage, and other electioneering activities.

D)        changes made by Parliament through the Local Electoral (Advertising) Amendment Act 2022 were not well communicated or understood.

E)        the Board recommend that nominations for candidates should be handled by an independent body.

F)        the Board recommend that work is done to make nomination forms and the related process clearer. There were a number of mistakes in the processing of this information.

G)       the Board recommend that the application process for candidates should go online and a payment gateway option needs to be provided online also.

H)        the Board suggest that all potential candidates attend at least two Local Board or Council meetings (whichever is appropriate to their nomination) to give them some idea of the role and matters they would be dealing with.

I)          suggest potential candidates be offered a familiarisation session where they might learn more about the elected member role including their obligation and restrictions and skills required. 

iii)       in regard to candidate criteria, note the following points for input:

A)        recommend that are more prescriptive criteria of candidate suitability is created and communicated. Whilst we are always excited to encourage a wide representation of our diverse communities some potential candidates are of the belief that they wouldn’t have the ability to do the role; others need continual help with basic understanding of their role, and with using technology. Clear descriptions of each role is important to ensure candidates are confident able to operate at the level required.

B)        recommend that candidates are made aware of the commitment required, noting that they must be available to attend meetings/workshops during daytime hours, and must be able to accommodate the hours set out for the role they are standing for.

iv)       in regard to the voting system, the Board note the following points for input:

A)        request proper consideration of moving from First Past the Post (FPP) voting to Single Transferable Vote (STV) as allowed by the Local Electoral Act.

v)         in regard to candidate advertising, the Board note the following points for input:

A)        recommend consideration of options to further limit the impact of financial advantage on advertising to level the playing field such as limitations on the number of signs / billboards or reviewing the spending limits.

B)        recommend consideration of partnering with community groups to run well organised and promoted “meet the candidate events”, including recording questions and answers to be published online for those that cannot attend.

vi)       in regard to other related matters, provides the following points for input:

A)        highlight the importance of political neutrality from Members of Parliament around and during the Local Government election campaign.

B)        suggest that the lack of council facilities in the Flat Bush/Ormiston area contributes to the lower turn out. There is no Countdown or Library, therefore no local ballot boxes which made it harder to post votes.
