Candidates sessions

16 June 2016

Budding local government candidates can find out more about standing for Taupō District Council or Waikato Regional Council at a series of information sessions next week.

Deputy Electoral Officer Tina Jakes says the sessions will give anyone thinking about standing for the mayoralty or councillor and community board roles in October's local elections all the information they need.

Information will be provided on what people need to do in order to become a candidate as well as what they can expect if they are successful at the election.

We will cover how candidates can be nominated, discuss the time commitments needed, as well as duties and legal obligations for these roles, she said.

The information sessions will be held on Monday, June 20 at 1pm at the Mangakino Service Centre and at 7pm at the Turangi Service Centre. On Tuesday, June 21, sesssions will be held in the Council Chamber at our Lake Terrace office at 1pm and 7pm.
