Special voting

What a special vote is

A special vote is a voting document without your personalised details. These are completed when you fill in the form. You might need to cast a special vote because:

• your voting papers were not delivered by Monday 22 September 2025
• your voting papers were destroyed or lost
• a mistake was made on the voting papers and cannot be easily corrected
• you enrolled after Friday 1 August 2025.

Our election staff can issue you a special vote to complete. To receive the special voting documents:

• visit us at Council’s administration building, 16 Cobham Court, Porirua city centre
• email us at [email protected]
• call us on 04 237 5089.

We will be hosting pop-up special voting events between Tuesday 9 September and Saturday 11 October 2025. Keep an eye on our events page for updates!
