In the Thames-Coromandel District, we operate a first-past-the-post electoral system, which means that a candidate needs to get the majority of the votes to win a place at the Council or Community Board.
The Pre-Election Report is prepared as an easy reference document to provide information about topical issues, including an overview of the district, financial information and a summary of major projects underway or planned for the next three years. Essential reading for voters as well as people considering running as a candidate. The report is prepared independent of elected members and is not a political document.
