Advance voting available in Martinborough

For the upcoming general election, Martinborough will have an advance voting place for the first time.
The trend in previous elections has been for more people to take advantage of the convenience of voting in advance. The Electoral Commission is forecasting for this election that up to 50% of all votes may be cast during the advance vote period.
Additionally, people will be able to check if they are enrolled by visiting an advance voting place, and can then enrol on the spot if they wish to. This is a new initiative that is expected to increase enrolments and voter turnout.
The Wairarapa Electorate has doubled the number of advance voting places to accommodate the increase in people wanting to vote or enrol during the advance voting period, which is from Monday September 11th to Friday September 22nd. There will be advance voting available in all main towns in the electorate, although not all will be open for the whole period.
The Advance Voting booth will be at 20 Jellicoe Street (next to Scotty’s Meats) on:
Thursday and Friday 14th and 15th between 11 am and 3 pm.
Saturday 16th between 10am and 2pm
Monday 18th to Friday 22nd between 11am and 4 pm.
Request for postal votes may be made at this booth or by phoning 06 378 72784 between 9am and 4pm
