Registrars of Electors

The Electoral Enrolment Centre has a team of Registrars of Electors, who are responsible for compiling and maintaining the electoral rolls for their electorate.

As well as maintaining the electoral rolls on a daily basis and conducting enrolment update campaigns prior to all major electoral events, the Registrars also work in their local communities to encourage eligible electors to enrol. This is to ensure the maximum number of eligible electors are enrolled to vote in Parliamentary, local council and district health board elections, by-elections, referenda and polls.

How lists are compiled

Every time an elector enrols as a Parliamentary elector, they are automatically enrolled as an elector in the appropriate local council. This is done using a system of meshblocks, administered by Statistics New Zealand, which allocates the elector to the appropriate Parliamentary electorate and local council.

These lists are updated in real time, as changes are notified to the Registrar of Electors. To ensure the lists are kept up to date,
Enrolment Update Campaigns are held in the years that the triennial local council elections and Parliamentary elections are held.

An Enrolment Update Campaign is next scheduled for July 2013.
