How to enrol to vote in the New Zealand Elections
In a strong attempt to gain exposure to the younger voting audience, the Electoral Commission has begun a prominent campaign of advertising including TV, radio, internet, and almost any other form of advertising you can think of. While it is the Electoral Commission that are determined to convince you to vote, it’s the Electoral Enrolment Centre that facilitates that vote and helps you through the process.
To facilitate your vote, this year the methods of enrolling to vote in the New Zealand Elections have been pushed across a wide variety of different options:
- Enrol online: You can enrol online on the elections.org.nz website. The website also offers frequently asked questions about how to enrol online.
- Enrol by post: You can enrol by post by downloading the enrollment application form, filling it out and sending it by post, fax or dropping it into any PostShop.
- Enrol by text message: There are even options around requesting enrollment application forms via text message from your mobile phone.
For general inquiries about enrolling to vote you can email the Electoral Enrolment Centre on enrol@elections.org.nz or phone 0800 ENROL NOW (0800 36 76 56).
If you’re deciding who to vote for, you can look for information in the NZS.com New Zealand Political Parties category.
