SDC Office open on Saturday for votes

Friday, 8 October 2010

The Southland District Council office in Forth Street, Invercargill, will be open from 9am to 12noon tomorrow (Saturday 9 October) for people to make special votes in the local government election. Electoral Officer Phil Culling said special votes will be the last opportunity for people to have a say in the way their community will be managed for the next three years. "You will be deciding who you want to represent you in your community for the next three years, from your mayor to your community board members," Mr Culling said.  It will be these representatives that make the decisions on your behalf which is why it is so important to vote and express your views before the close-off time of noon."
