Licensed anglers and game-bird hunters have the chance to vote in the upcoming Fish & Game elections.

New Zealand’s regional Fish & Game Councils are elected by licence holders every three years and voting in the 2024 election opens on September 19.

Fish & Game represents around 150,000 licence holders and has 12 regional Fish & Game Councils and the New Zealand Fish & Game Council. Each region manages regional sports fish and game resources and habitats.

Fish & Game New Zealand chairman Barrie Barnes said to vote, licence holders must enrol.

“Everyone with a fishing or game-bird hunting licence can vote for their Fish & Game Council. If New Zealanders are passionate about angling and hunting, they must be enrolled to vote so they can elect the next generation of councillors to help shape the sector’s future.”

He said Fish & Game’s vision is a New Zealand where freshwater habitats and species flourish, hunting and fishing traditions thrive and New Zealanders enjoy access to sustainable wild fish and game resources.

“If game-bird hunters and anglers share that vision, then I urge them to make sure they are enrolled before 11 September, so they can vote.”

In August, Fish & Game will seek nominations for councillors on the 12 regional Fish & Game Councils.

“Every region is looking for people who want to speak up for people who enjoy fishing and hunting in our wild places and are passionate about ensuring the species we manage and their habitats are protected. This is a great opportunity for people in the angling and hunting community to get involved.”
