Voting will be conducted by postal vote - electors will receive their voting documents in the post along with a freepost envelope to return their vote to the Council's Electoral Officer.

Posting of voting documents to all eligible electors will begin on Friday 17 September 2010. All electors will receive their documents no later than Wednesday 22 September 2010.

The voting period is from Friday 17 September 2010 to 12 noon Saturday 9 October 2010.

All voting documents must be in the hands of the Electoral Officer by
12 noon on Saturday 9 October 2010.

Special Voting

Special votes are available to those electors during the three-week voting period:
- whose names do not appear on the final electoral roll, but who qualify as electors
- who did not receive a voting document
- who spoil or damage a voting document previously posted to them
- whose names appear on the unpublished electoral roll.

You can apply for a special vote by:
- contacting the Council's Electoral Officer, or
- coming to the Masterton District Council, 64 Chapel Street Masterton, during the three-week period before polling day.

Special votes require the completion of a statutory declaration. This is a legal requirement and protects against possible duplicate voting.
