Electoral boundaries changes which have seen rural Ohauiti, Welcome Bay and Te Puke become part of the Rotorua electorate are still causing confusion among some residents.
Flyers for National's Bay of Plenty candidate Todd Muller ended up in the letterboxes of a number of rural Ohauiti Rd residents who are now part of the Rotorua electorate, sparking discussion amongst neighbours as to which area they were in.
The confusion encouraged Ohauiti Rd resident Margaret Dagg to check where the new boundaries lay on the Electoral Commission's website.
"It has confused people around me I know," she said. "It's a misunderstanding of a lot of people - they haven't really quite realised the boundary changes are quite significant."
Mrs Dagg said she believed the confusion meant people would not know who their candidates were or where to go to vote. "I believe that because of the confusion people are not going to vote," she said.
