Election in New Zealand
2022 Auckland local board elections
149 members were elected to local boards in the 2022 Auckland local board elections, an election held as part of the 2022 New Zealand local elections . Progress results were released on the 8 October.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Local board elections
While many candidates were independents or stood for local parties, some stood for the centre-right Communities and Residents (C&R) , the centre-left City Vision or the Labour Party . According to preliminary results, C&R had a successful election, gaining control of the Waitematā local board from City Vision and also picking up control of Puketāpapa. Meanwhile
Labour gained control of the Henderson-Massey local board. The hotly contested Albert-Eden local board remained deadlocked 4-4 between C&R and City Vision.[ 4] [ 2]
7 candidates were elected as members of the Waitematā Local Board :
