Local Elections 2025 are here, but do most of us even know what councils actually do?
From deciding on rates, roading, and rubbish to shaping where we can build papakāinga and how our communities grow, councils have a bigger impact than many realise.
In this kōrero we look at:
- What councils are responsible for
- Why voting matters more than you think
- How the current voting process works (yep, still snail mail!)
- And whether it’s time for a system that better fits today’s world
