Have you got your enrolment pack in the mail from the Electoral Commission?
If not you need to enrol to vote in the upcoming election or update your details.
The Electoral Commission says more than 3.4 million personalised enrolment packs have been sent out to voters to check their details are correct.
Electoral Commission deputy chief executive of operations Anusha Guler said if people had not received an enrolment update pack it meant they were not enrolled or needed to update their details.
“Every year thousands of voters are removed from the electoral roll because they’ve changed address but haven’t updated their details with the Electoral Commission. To avoid this, you need to make sure you’re enrolled at the right address if you’ve moved house.”
People can enrol on election day and do a special vote, but if they enrol before 10 September they will be sent a EasyVote card which will make voting easier.
People can enrol or update their details online at vote.nz using a New Zealand driver licence, New Zealand passport or RealMe verified identity, or by calling 0800 36 76 56 to request a paper form.
The 2023 general election will be held on 14 October.
