  • 각 의회 지역 내 선거 인구는 시군구의회(territorial authority) 및 광역의회 의원들을 선출합니다. 시군구의회는 지역사회가 시장(Mayor)을 직접 선출하고 시장이 의회를 이끌게 됩니다. 광역 의회의 장은 의장(Chair)이며, 시군구의원에 의해 선출됩니다.
  • 오클랜드는 특수성을 띱니다. 오클랜드는 의회의 제반 사항에 책임이 있는 21명의 위원으로 구성된 통치 기구가 있습니다. 본 기구는 오클랜드 지방(the greater Auckland region) 내 소규모 지역의 이익을 대변하는 21개의 추가 지역 이사회와 거버넌스 책임을 공유합니다.
  • 의회 운영은 최고 경영자(chief executive)가 맡고, 선출된 구성원에 의해 5년 임기로 임명되며, 직원들은 지시에 따라 의회의 일상적인 업무를 수행합니다.
