Meet the Candidates – Eastbourne Lions
September 9 @ 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM NZST
Meet the candidates for the upcoming local body elections.
This election you will be voting for the mayor, 5 city-wide candidates, and 3 regional council candidates. Our Harbour Ward councillor Tui Lewis has already been decided (uncontested), and our Community Board is also decided as we only had the required 5 candidates nominated, meaning no contest is required.
This election will also feature 2 referendums.
- To retain the new Maori Ward (binding – this will affect the next election in 2028, not this one).
- If Hutt City Council should investigate the options for amalgamation (non-binding)
There will be more information on both these issues leading up to the election.
