Dame Fran Wilde discusses push for change in local elections

Councils around the country are looking to follow Auckland in scrapping postal voting for local elections. Auckland councillors have voted to bring back in-person voting for the 2028 local elections, becoming the first council to use polling booths since 1992. Local Government New Zealand wants that change rolled out nationwide. South Wairarapa mayor and Chair of LGNZ's Local Government System Reference Group Dame Fran Wilde spoke to John Campbell.
