Local election results see in raft of new mayors for major New Zealand cities 新西兰地方选举结果新鲜出炉 | Newshub 新闻枢纽

The local government election results are now in, with new mayors and councillors elected across New Zealand. That includes Wayne Brown in Auckland, Tory Whanau in Wellington, Phil Mauger in Christchurch and Noddy Clark in Invercargill. 

Local Government New Zealand calls for a review of the entire local government voting process. “An independent review is really required now,” LGNZ president Stuart Crosby​ said at a media conference on Saturday afternoon.

The early indication was that the nationwide voter turnout for the council elections would be 40% . Crosby said 40% was “very disappointing”, especially compared with national elections, where the figure is about 80%.

新西兰主要城市的市长均为新当选的,可见民众对于改变的渴望。但是新西兰地方选举委员会要求审核整个地方政府选举的全过程。地方选举委员会主席斯图尔特·科洛斯比(Stuart Crosby)在周六下午新闻发布会表示:“现在需要一个独立的审核。因为这次地方选举委员会的投票率粗估在40%左右,这么低的投票率非常令人失望,因为全国大选的投票率在80%以上。”

编后语:华人参政的积极性还是很低的,而且基督城此前一个区的华人区长被媒体曝出光领工资,连开会都不去,连续缺席市政会议。唉。
