Electoral Commission

Prior to the 2023 General Elections, the former Minister of Local Government announced that the next local government election in Tauranga would be held on Saturday, 20 July 2024. The decision was also made to postpone the 2025 Tauranga City triennial election until 2028.

Our new wards

For our upcoming election, Tauranga City Council will have a new representation arrangement. The Local Government Commission determined Tauranga residents will elect nine councillors plus a mayor. Eight of our nine councillors will be from general wards, and we will have one councillor representing the Māori ward.

The eight general wards are: Mauao/Mount Maunganui, Arataki, Pāpāmoa, Welcome Bay, Matua-Otūmoetai, Bethlehem, Tauriko and Te Papa.

The Māori ward, Te Awanui, will cover the entire city.

Candidate information evening

To help prepare people interested in standing as elected members, Council will host a free candidate information evening on Monday, 19 February 2024, from 4-8pm.

Joined by the Commissioners, a governance expert, and Tauranga City’s Electoral Officer, this will be an informative session to prepare would-be candidates for what they may expect if elected.

To register your interest, please fill in the form below.
