MEET THE CANDIDATES - LOCAL POLITICS, LIVE AND UNSCRIPTED

Elevate is hosting two opportunities for our community to meet the candidates standing in the upcoming local elections. This is your chance to hear directly from those who want to represent you, ask questions, and see democracy in action.

Ōtorohanga

6 PM, Monday 15 September
Ōtorohanga College Hall, 2 Bledisloe Avenue

Kāwhia

6 PM, Friday 19 September
66 Waiwera Street, Kāwhia

Each candidate will have a set time to introduce themselves and take part in an open Q&A with the audience. An independent facilitator will run the evenings to ensure fairness and balance.

Even if some seats are uncontested, it’s still a great opportunity to meet the people who will be making decisions for your community.

Come along, bring your questions, and be part of the conversation!
