2022 Election Project
With the 2022 local body elections fast approaching, and a wide range of issues facing our city, it is important that voters are as well informed as possible about the candidates seeking your vote. This project has two aims, firstly to collect the contact details of all candidates seeking election to the Hamilton City Council to make it easier for voters to seek out information directly from candidates. The initial batch of details have been sourced via the Facebook search function. More details will be added as they become apparent.
Secondly, the project will also pose a set of common questions to all candidates. The questions will be sent as contact details for candidates becomes available, and answers will be posted as they are received. You can find the questions and candidates answers by clicking on this button.
