Note that the call for new members for the HPRS committee has nothing to do with postal voting for the local body elections that are also in full flight. It’s time (nudge, nudge) to open the envelopes that have arrived in your mailboxes and do some ticking. You need to post back your papers by October 8 for them to arrive in time for the cut-off date on Oct 12. For info on the candidates, check the booklet that came with your voting papers or head to VoteAuckland to view the profiles.
