A wide field of 20 candidates will contest the Papatoetoe subdivision by-election later this year. The election will give voters a fresh chance to shape local leadership after last year’s result was voided by the District Court. The by-election comes amid heightened scrutiny of local election processes and efforts to rebuild trust in an area where turnout has historically been low.
The surge marks a potential turning point for representation in the country’s most diverse city.
