Advance voting places will be open from Monday February 13, 2017 for people who want to vote early in the Mt Albert by-election.
If you are enrolled in the Mt Albert electorate, you can vote in person at one of four advance voting places from Monday.
It is important to vote in advance if you cannot get to a voting place in the electorate on election day, Saturday February, 25, 2017.
Look out for your EasyVote pack, which should appear in your letter box next week, with all the information you need to vote in the by-election.
A list of advance voting places and opening hours is included in the EasyVote pack and is also available at www.elections.org.nz, or by calling freephone 0800-367656.
Those unable to get to a voting place either during the advance voting period or on election day should contact the Returning Officer to arrange voting services. The Returning Officer can be contacted on mtalbert@elections.govt.nz or (09) 5201297.
Electoral Commission staff will also be visiting rest homes in the electorate to provide voting services to those unable to get to a voting place.
Voters enrolled in the Mt Albert electorate who are currently overseas, or who will be overseas on election day, can also vote.
Mt Albert voters currently overseas can download their voting papers from www.elections.org.nz and upload, fax or post them back so we receive them on time.
Mt Albert voters heading overseas soon can vote before they go at any advance voting place from Monday.
People overseas can also vote in person at overseas posts in London, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, or can apply to have voting papers posted to them.
Remember, if you are not yet enrolled, the easiest ways to get a form are online at elections.org.nz, call 0800-367656, visit a PostShop, or freetext your name and address to 3676. But if one of those options won’t work for you, you will be able to fill in or drop off an enrolment form at any advance voting place.
