Northlanders wanting to learn more about who to vote for can choose from a feast of grassroots local candidates meetings continuing around the region this month .
Moerewa’s Otiria marae, a Whangārei PRIDE group, residents and ratepayers, business groups, and others from the community including a climate action group are among a wide range of organisers who are hosting the at least a dozen meetings.
These meetings are being held in a wide range of venues including local halls, a marae, business centres, rugby clubs, a school hall, sports centres and a bowling club over the next four weeks.
The community gatherings are all face-to-face except for an online Māori wards hui on September 15.
