'I think it is the nastiness of the campaign right now'

Local body v local bodies

The local government campaign is heating up, with voting and special voting beginning today.

My voting papers arrived in my letterbox this afternoon, but I’m hearing that is not the case with everyone.

Have you got your voting papers? Please vote here:

I’ve approached the voting officer for comment.

If you’ve been hit by a delay, please let me know in the comments, or email me at hamish.mcneilly@stuff.co.nz.

And here is a link of venues and times for special voting, which includes several smaller centres but also larger places, including the University of Otago x 4 and Otago Polytechnic.

This campaign feels different, and I’ll give some examples.
