Auckland Council will continue to use postal voting for next year’s local election after a proposal for booth voting was not endorsed.

A range of options were put before the governing body, which included postal voting with special voting centres, exclusively booth voting or a combination of postal and booth voting.

Governance Services manager Rose Leonard strongly discouraged using booth voting as it could lead to fewer people voting.

She noted that general election voting took an average of five minutes with two ticks while local elections took about 30 minutes in comparison.
