NORTHLAND REGIONAL COUNCIL
Twenty-four people have put their names forward for nine seats on the Northland Regional Council at October’s local body elections.
Electoral official Christine Taylor says provisionally 24 people nominated for the regional council, but due to only one nomination being received for the Coastal South General Constituency (which includes Mangawhai, Waipu and Ruakaka), the sole candidate Rick Stolwerk would be declared elected unopposed.
The remaining 23 candidates are vying for eight seats on Council – six general seats and two Māori seats within the Te Raki Māori constituency.
The nominees for the Kaipara General Constituency where there is one vacancy are John Blackwell and Penny Smart.
The nominees for Te Raki Māori Constituency (two vacancies) are Lance Bryers, Robin Grieve, Peter-Lucas Jones and Tui Shortland.
Voting documents will be sent out from September 16 and must be received by the Electoral Officer by noon on election day, October 8.
