Council Elections 2025
Every three years, communities across the district come together to choose their local council representatives - and 2025 is an election year.
From 9 September to 11 October, voters will have the opportunity to decide who will represent their community by casting their vote in the local council elections.
Voting is a part of our democracy, and this year, the Manawatū District Council is making it even easier to step up and have your say. Look out for the orange voting bins which will pop up in convenient locations around the district in September, as well as pop-up voting stations, where you can cast your completed ballot:
