I wrote earlier about the upcoming Fish & Game council elections. One of the rules surrounding the process is that if not enough (or only enough) candidates stand to fill the 12 positions within any region's council, then no election is held and the current council is re-elected.
Seems that in 7 of the 12 regions, that this will occur. I don't know what to read into this. Happiness with status quo? Apathy? Being completely removed from the body representing them?
In Auckland/Waikato, the number of candidates appears to be down on the previous election, I'm hearing that 26 candidates are standing, and last election it was 36.
So, 12 regions, 5 elections. There we go.
