**Usarka** · 9th October 2007, 10:12

im curious to see who has voted for the local elections this week. especially in auckland it seems there are enough people whinging to suggest a huuuuge turnout but its looking like one of the lowest ever.

so have ya, punk?

I have voted, and I hope ALL KBers in Central Otago have voted as well. It looks like I have a chance of being elected.

Damn, knew I forgot to do something before i left. Got papers in envelope all ticked on my desk. Oops

I did my whole votey thing and was really happy with my choices (as happy one can be when voting), put my voting paper in the envelope and then realise: DAMMIT!!! It's in the wrong way... long story short, I ended up tearing the envelope and then decided "Screw it" and it went in the bin.

If they send out another one I'll quite happily fill it out and hopefully put it in the envelope the right way

Yup. Voted. For the first time ever.

And I even checked out the candidate profiles and discussed it with Gini and evaluated them all, and worked out our preferred ones.

God, I feel so OLD.

Yup. Voted ages ago. Council needs a bit of Gene-O-Kleen around here...

The thing is I have issues if I don't vote ... my dad always said that you can't complain if you don't vote .. cos your vote may have made a difference ... with that in mind I ensure that I vote and in plenty of time .. since we are in Australia at the moment we sent the forms in a week ago ... man parents have a lot to answer for!

I can't vote cause I moved, then enrolled down there, then moved again so can't vote cause I haven't lived here long enough. Even though I lived there for like 5 years... hmmm

And hibiscus coast people... have you noticed the signs are sideways?!

i should vote.....but cant be fucked comes to mind.
No one really appealed to me, no one stuck out and made me say - "Shit i like that guy im going to vote for him".
Of course if i lived out west i would be doing my best to vote for anyone but John Tams......dont like that fella at all

I will as soon as I find out all the candidates who are AGAINST the commercialisation of Whenuapai Aiport (should be on the waag site). Totally self interest I know but we are right under the proposed flight path in Beachhaven, confirmed by the pic in the Herald this morning.
Feel free to join me in stopping it. The old argument that there has always been an airport there doesnt quite stack up when there has been less than one Airforce flight a day for the last 27 years we've lived here!!

mum got my vote

... actually... she got dads too... so not sure who I voted for

asked me if I was going to... I said 'I dunno... you do it for me'... dad said the same thing lol...

Don't know, don't care and none of the buggers do anything for rural. I pay huge rates on my property and pay for all the bloody services.

**Disco Dan** · 10th October 2007, 03:18

Havent voted. Cant be bothered.

**Grumpy Gnomb** · 10th October 2007, 03:25

Crap - cant vote as in Canada

**klingon** · 10th October 2007, 07:41

Of course I voted!

And of course most of the people who bother to vote in a poll asking "have you voted" are going to have voted... so I'm not exactly representative of the average Aucklander.

If anyone wants to know who to vote for, just send me a PM. I'm happy to advise
