Voting for the 2020 General Election is underway.
Vote early to avoid long lines, said the Electoral Commission.
Most people will have had their voting pack and if not if will turn up this week. Use the voting card that is part of that pack at the voting station. It makes identifying your right to vote much quicker.
Otherwise officers will need to scroll through the electoral role.
In Horowhenua are three electorates: Ōtaki, Te Tai Hau1auru and Rangitikei (for Shannon, Ōpiki, Himatangi Beach and Tokomaru).
Below are the voting places with the days and times they are open.
