Wellington City Council elections are conducted using the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system. STV is a proportional electoral system by which electors rank candidates in order of preference.

STV affects the elections for:

  • Mayor
  • the Council
  • Tawa Community Board
  • Makara/Ohariu Community Board.

Capital and Community Coast District Health Board also uses STV.

Greater Wellington Regional Council, and the Hutt Mana Charitable Trust use the First Past the Post (FPP) system.

Postal Voting

Wellington City Council elections are run by postal voting. Electors receive a voting document in the post and are provided with a free post envelope to return that document to the Council’s Electoral Officer.
