2010 is Election Year - Timetable and Details

So there's to be an election this year.

For Auckland Council and its Local Boards.

The details of how that will play out have been released by the redoubtable Dale Ofsosky who is the Election Officer for Auckland Council:

1) by 1st March 2010 - Decisions on representation issues (boundaries, wards, boards etc) by LGC

2) 21 July 2010 - Public notice of election, calling for nominations, roll open for inspection

3) 23 July 2010 - Nominations open

4) 20 August 2010 - Nominations close (12 Noon)

5) 25 August 2010 - Public notice of day of election, candidate names

6) 17 September 2010 to 22 September 2010 - Delivery of voting documents

7) 9 October 2010 - Election day with voting closing at 12 noon

8) 14 October 2010 to 20 October 2010 - Declaration of results / public notice of results

I always thought the new council got underway on 1st November, and that previous councils got abolished on 31st October. Not sure what happens in the interim.

Anyway. A few dates and targets to aim for. Got a plan?
