The local elections for the South Waikato District are held every three years by postal vote. The elections determine who will become the Mayor of the district, Councillors for one of three Wards and local Community Board Members for Tirau. Elected Members make decisions on behalf of all in the South Waikato.
During elections, the South Waikato District Council's Facebook page must not be used for electioneering purposes. Any post - positive or negative - made by any individual specifically relating to their own - or someone else's - nomination, intention to run for Council or election campaign, will be removed immediately; and the writer blocked for the duration of the election period.
