The overseas voting period for the 2023 General Election starts on Wednesday 27 September 2023 and your sailors overseas can download and complete your voting papers from the website vote.nz.

This is the recommended option for voting from overseas. To use this voting service, you need to be correctly enrolled before you can download your voting papers. You can check your enrolment information here:- Enrol or update online | Vote NZ

The links to the download and upload voting papers services will be made available on the Home | Vote NZ website from Wednesday 27 September 2023 (NZ time).

Additionally, complete information on how to vote from overseas, including postal voting, the locations of overseas voting places and the options for returning your voting papers, will be made available on the Home | Vote NZ website in August 2023.

We will have voting places at the NZ High Commissions around the Pacific Islands, including Niue, Tonga, Fiji, Kiribati, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia.

We would really encourage the Island Cruising members and rally participants to use the download / upload service when they are in port during the election period, or visit a voting place if there is one nearby.
