Elections

The next local body elections for Tauranga City Council are scheduled for July 2024

Bay of Plenty Regional Council elections

Elections for Bay of Plenty Regional Council’s Tauranga and Mauao constituencies will take place in October 2022. If you live or own property in the Tauranga City Council local authority area you may be eligible to vote in the Regional Council’s election process – even though a Tauranga City Council election is not being held at the same time. The Regional Council elections will follow the national local body elections timeframes. 

To find out more, including information about becoming a candidate, or making sure you’re enrolled to vote, please visit www.boprc.govt.nz/elections. 

On 9 February 2021, four commissioners replaced our mayor and councillors.

The Commission’s initial appointment was expected to conclude at the October 2022 local government elections, however, Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta has reappointed the existing four commissioners for a new commission term running from 26 April 2022 through to July 2024 when the next local election for Tauranga City Council will be held.
