Candidates, voters and voting in New Zealand’s 2022 local government elections

Abstract

Candidates, voters and voting is an open-source publication of chapters developed from papers presented at the online Local Government Elections 2022 Symposium held in February 2023. The 11 chapters explore the 2022 elections and the wider state of New Zealand local government democratic representation. Part 1 provides an overview of New Zealand local government studies. Part 2 explores candidates and issue, while the third asks who is represented. A specially prepared bibliography of Local Authority Elections, Voting, and Councillor and Candidate studies in Aotearoa provides researchers an additional resource.
