Today (August 20) is the last chance to enrol to cast an "easy vote" at the September 20 general election - there are still 380,000 eligible New Zealanders who haven't enrolled, and over half are aged under 30.
"Enrol by August 20 and you'll be sent an EasyVote pack just ahead of election day," says Murray Wicks, national manager of enrolment services. "It includes your personalised EasyVote card, which makes voting faster on the day."
Anyone enrolled after today will have to cast a special declaration vote on September 20.
