The Far North is facing its third byelection so far this year following the resignation of Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board member Robert Cassidy.
Cassidy, a first-time board member from Waima, resigned last week due to "'a change in circumstances and new opportunities overseas".
He is understood to be heading to Australia
to join family members already across the Tasman. Cassidy was one of two representatives in the South Hokianga subdivision.
Nominations for a replacement will close on July 19.
Candidates must be New Zealand citizens and enrolled to vote, though not necessarily in South Hokianga. They must, however, be nominated by two people who are registered voters in South Hokianga.
