2019 Auckland local elections
|
The 2019 Auckland local elections took place between September and October 2019 by postal vote as part of nation-wide local elections. The elections were the fourth since the merger of seven councils into the Auckland Council, which is composed of the mayor and 20 councillors, and 149 members of 21 local boards. Twenty-one district health board members and 41 licensing trust members were also elected.
Mayoral election
The incumbent mayor, Phil Goff, sought a second term and was re-elected ahead of second highest polling candidate John Tamihere.[1]
Governing body elections
Twenty members were elected to the Auckland Council, across thirteen wards, using the first past the post vote system.[2]
The Auckland Future ticket, holding four local body seats since 2016, announced in March 2019 that it would not field candidates.[3]
Mike Lee, sitting councillor for Waitemata and Gulf ward, unexpectedly announced in late-June 2019 that he would run again, splitting the vote. The City Vision ticket, which had endorsed Lee in 2016 by not fielding a candidate, had selected Pippa Coom as its candidate in March 2019 on the understanding that he would not stand again.[4][5]
The final candidate list was released on 19 August.[6]
