  • Voting in New Zealand Local Government Elections: the Need to Encourage Greater Voter Turnout
    RESEARCH and EVALUATION (PEER REVIEWED) Voting in New Zealand local government elections: the need to encourage greater voter turnout Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance Issue 24: June 2021 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/cjlg Andy Asquith School of Management Massey University Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand Email: [email protected] Karen Webster School of Clinical Sciences Auckland University of Technology Auckland 0632 New Zealand Email: [email protected] Andrew Cardow School of Management Massey University Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand Email: [email protected] Abstract Within a global context, local government in New Zealand occupies an enviable position: it enjoys both a statutorily-defined ‘power of general competence’ and financial autonomy from central government. However, despite this, voter turnout rates in New Zealand local elections continue to fall as ever fewer New Zealanders engage in this fundamental act of civic engagement. This review article examines the decline in voting over the last four New Zealand local government elections (2010/13/16/19). It aims to do three things: plot the decline; identify and analyse the causes of this decline; and suggest ways in which the decline might be countered. The authors reach the conclusion that local government in New Zealand is at a crossroads – it will either be rejuvenated as a source of local democracy and prosper, or decline into an administrative arm of central government.

  • South Auckland Libraries –Connecting with Southside Youth
    LIANZA Conference 2012, 23-26 September, Palmerston North, New Zealand: Ipukarea – Celebrate, Sustain, Transform South Auckland Libraries –Connecting with Southside Youth Mohammed, Tasneem1; Misilei, Richard2 1Mangere East Library, Auckland Libraries, N.Z. 2Tupu Youth Library Otara, Auckland Libraries, N.Z Abstract A key priority for Auckland is to focus on becoming a city that puts children and young people first. The new Auckland Plan is the strategy for making Auckland “the world’s most liveable city”. The Southern Initiative’ is a significant part of this plan. It focuses on an area in South Auckland with high social needs and significant economic opportunities. The magnitude and scale of under-achievement in education, high rates of unemployment and health inequalities make this an area for national attention. The initial focus of the Southern Initiative will be on early childhood learning, supporting and up-skilling parents and guardians and raising educational achievement and employment across the area. Auckland Libraries have a vital role in supporting the Auckland Plan and the Southern Initiative priorities. Eleven of our community libraries are located in the area highlighted in the initiative. However, engaging young people in our libraries is a continual challenge. Young people, particularly in this region do not always find libraries the most welcoming or pleasurable environment. Mangere East and Tupu Youth Library have had success engaging the young people from their communities by working within their communities and with their young people to develop library programs and events.
