The 2025 New Zealand local elections (Māori: Nga Pōtitanga ā-Rohe 2025) were triennial elections held from 9 September until 11 October 2025 to elect local mayors and councillors, regional councillors, and members of various other local government bodies.

All 11 of New Zealand's regions and 66 of New Zealand's 67 cities and districts participated in the elections; 42 councils also held local referendums on the status of Māori wards. Tauranga City Council did not hold an election or a referendum as they recently held an election in 2024.

Background

Rates increases

Rate increases in the years preceding the election were reportedly high in several councils across the country.[3] The aftermath of natural disasters in some parts of the country[3] and long term rates increase deferrals[4] were some of the things blamed. Incumbent Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry (who is not seeking re-election) warned voters to be wary of candidates who talked about lowering rates without detailing a plan on what would be cut to accommodate.[4]

In late August 2025, the lobby group New Zealand Taxpayers' Union released its "Ratepayers Protection Pledge" for mayoral and council candidates to sign. The three-point pledge stated that signatories would oppose any increases to council rates and levies, support measures to improve transparency of council expenditure and oppose unelected appointments to council committees with spending and regulatory powers.[5] In early September 2025, several Dunedin mayoral candidates including Marie Laufiso, Future Dunedin leader Andrew Simms and Green candidate Mickey Treadwell accused the Taxpayers' Union of bullying candidates and breaching impartiality rules. In response, the Taxpayer Union's head of communications Tony Relf rejected accusations of bullying and badgering, and claimed that the public supported a rates cap.[6]

In mid-September 2025, a RNZ-Reid research poll found that 75.1% of New Zealanders supported the Government imposing a cap on local council rates. 14.1% of respondents opposed imposing a rates cap while 10.8% did not know. The poll also found that a rates cap was popular among voters across all political parties, particularly National Party (82.4%), ACT (91.9%) and New Zealand First (87.3%) voters. A plurality of self-identified Labour (70.2%), Green (56.2%) and Te Pāti Māori (59.7%) voters supported a rates cap.[7]

Māori wards

In 2023, the newly-formed Sixth National Government and its coalition partners ACT and New Zealand First pledged to "restore the right of local referendum on the establishment or ongoing use of Māori wards and constituencies."[8][9]

Under the government's change to the law, referendums will be held in 42 of the 45 local councils that had introduced Māori wards following the 2021 law change.[10][11] Two councils, the Kaipara District Council and the Upper Hutt City Council, voted to disestablish their Māori wards rather than hold referendums.[12][13]

Participation and turnout

There were concerns that the 2025 local elections will continue the pattern of decreasing participation, both in terms of number of candidates and in terms of turnout. Talking to Newsroom, Central Otago mayor Tamah Alley called it a "real concern" and a "threat to democracy".[14] Similar concerns about the low number of candidates were expressed by Regional and Unitary Councils Aotearoa (Te Uru Kahika).[15]

In the previous election, about two fifths of eligible electors voted. This follows the trend that has been almost continuous since the 1989 local government reforms, with 2010 being the only major blip due to the establishment of Auckland Council.[14]

Local Government NZ formed an electoral reform working group, chaired by Nelson mayor Nick Smith, that will deliver a report on 17 July. Newsroom reported that the report will recommend in-person voting (currently postal voting is used) and having the Electoral Commission take over the running of local elections (currently it is run by the councils themselves, usually with them hiring private companies such as ElectioNZ.com and Election Services).[14]

The working group will also consider four year terms, similar to the incumbent National government's plans for parliament. The working group was not considering online voting.[14]

Notable Asian candidates contesting the regional council elections have included Yadana Saw and Omar Faruque in Greater Wellington, Syed Khurram Iqbal in Hawke's Bay and Alan Wang in Environment Canterbury.[16]

Campaign

Mayoral races

In Northland, incumbent mayor Moko Tepania will face off against councillor Ann Court for the Far North mayoralty and Whangārei mayor Vince Cocorullo will go against councillor Ken Couper. Craig Jepson, Kaipara mayor and self-described "Trump of the North" will not stand for re-election, instead backing his deputy Jonathan Larsen for the position. Councillor Ash Nayyar and businessman Snow Tane will also contest the race.[1]

In Auckland, incumbent centre-right[17] mayor Wayne Brown announced his candidacy for re-election; this time he will stand under his group Fix Auckland. As of early July, it seems his main challenger will be incumbent Whau councillor Kerrin Leoni, a member of the Labour Party (though not officially endorsed).[1]

In Hamilton, incumbent centrist[18] mayor Paula Southgate will not run for re-election. Instead, left-leaning councillor Sarah Thomson will contest the election against former National MP Tim Macindoe.[1][19]

Incumbent mayor Tania Tapsell is running again in Rotorua.[1] Rehette Stoltz is standing to be re-elected in Gisborne.[1]

In Hawke's Bay, incumbent mayor Kirsten Wise is facing councillor Richard McGrath in the Napier mayoral election. Incumbent Hastings mayor Sandra Hazlehurst is retiring, with councillors Wendy Schollum and Marcus Buddo, as well as businessman Steve Gibson in the contest.[1]

Neil Holdom is not seeking re-election in New Plymouth.[20] The mayoralty is instead being contested by candidates including incumbent deputy mayor David Bublitz[21] and councillors Sam Bennett and Max Brough.[1][22]

Incumbent mayor Grant Smith is again standing for re-election in Palmerston North. Councillor Orphée Mickalad is also a candidate. Andrew Tripe is seeking re-election in Whanganui, with councillors Peter Oskam and Josh Chandulal-Mackay challenging him.[1]

Labour mayor Campbell Barry will not run for re-election in Lower Hutt. Councillors Karen Morgan and Brady Dyer have confirmed they are running, as well as Indian-dance instructor Prabha Ravi. "World-famous-in-Wainuiomata" Ken Laban is also running.[1]

Tory Whanau, the Green Party endorsed incumbent mayor of Wellington, announced she wouldn't run again in the mayoral election.[a] Former leader of the Labour Party, Andrew Little, is seen as the frontrunner; he will run for the mayoralty as the Labour candidate.[b] Among the other candidates for the mayoralty are incumbent councillors Ray Chung, running under the Independent Together ticket, and Diane Calvert, former councillor Rob Goulden, former accountant Alex Baker and businessman Karl Tiefenbacher.[1][23]

In Nelson, former National minister and incumbent mayor Nick Smith is standing for re-election. Marlborough mayor Nadine Taylor is also standing for re-election.[1]

In Christchurch, centre-right incumbent mayor Phil Mauger is seeking re-election. He is being challenged by "green-tinged" councillor Sara Templeton.[1] Other candidates include perennial candidate Tubby Hansen and white supremacist Philip Arps.[24]

Centre-right[25] incumbent Dunedin mayor Jules Radich will seek re-election to the city's mayoralty. He will be up against "slightly left-of-centre" businessman Andrew Simms, Green Party candidate Mickey Treadwell, and councillors Sophie Barker, Lee Vandervis, Mandy Mayhem, and Carmen Houlahan.[1][26]

John Glover and Nik Kiddle are in the running against incumbent Glyn Lewers in Queenstown-Lakes. Tamah Alley is also standing for re-election in Central Otago.[27] New Zealand's youngest mayor, Ben Bell, is standing for re-election in Gore. Nobby Clark, the controversial incumbent mayor of Invercargill, is not standing for re-election. Councillors Alex Crackett, Ian Pottiger, Tom Campbell (deputy mayor), and Ria Bond (former NZ First MP) are in the running.[1]

Central government parties

ACT New Zealand

Main article: ACT Local

In mid-March 2025, ACT leader David Seymour announced that the party would be fielding candidates during the 2025 local elections, marking the first time that the party would contest local body elections. ACT candidates would be expected to raise their own funds. Seymour said that the party would focus on lower rates, ending "wasteful spending," and racial equality.[28] The move would be the first time a national-level right wing party had run candidates in local races directly.[29]

The party did not intend to field any Māori ward or mayoral candidates.[29] In a press release published on Scoop, the party said their candidates would oppose attempts to manage emissions by local councils, describing climate action taken by councils as "grandstanding" and "virtue signalling".[a 1][30]

The party has announced forty-six candidates who will compete in the elections.[31][32]

Alliance Party

On 10 June, the Alliance Party announced that librarian and musician Tom Roud would run for a seat on the Christchurch City Council. While the party had been de-registered as a parliamentary eligible party by the Electoral Commission in 2015, party president Victor Billot pointed out the party never fully went away.[33]

Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand

The Green Party announced they would campaign on a pro-Māori ward position.[34] In a press release on their website, they stressed commitment to sustainability, te tiriti, and community were what Green affiliated and endorsed candidates represented. They said that Green candidates want "bold" and "transformative" action on local issues and issues that affect all areas of the country, like climate change.[g 1]

The party announced in April that Tory Whanau would run for the Wellington mayoralty as a Green candidate. She had previously been endorsed in 2022 by the party but had officially run as an independent.[34] On 29 April, it was announced Whanau would not run for the mayoralty again. This came after Andrew Little said he would run for Labour, Whanau saying she didn't want the race to be "progressive vs progressive". She instead would run for the city's Māori ward.[35]

Incumbents Laurie Foon and Geordie Rogers, as well as newcomer Jonny Osborne, were announced as Green candidates for wards on the Wellington City Council.[34] Yadana Saw would run again for her position on the Greater Wellington Regional Council.[34] It was announced on 6 May that incumbent Labour councillor Rebecca Matthews would run for the Greens in the Wharangi ward.[36][g 2]

High school teacher and photographer Zac Painting is the sole Green candidate for the Porirua City Council.[g 3]

In late May, incumbent Green Otago regional councillor Alan Somerville confirmed he would be seeking a second term as councillor, while video game programmer Mickey Treadwell announced that he would be running as the Greens' mayoral candidate alongside contesting a seat on the Dunedin City Council. Other Green candidates in Dunedin included visual designer Lily Waring and support worker Rose Finnie.[37]

The two incumbent Green councillors on the Palmerston North City Council (Brent Barrett and Kaydee Zabelin) were endorsed by the party for re-election in late May.[38]

Designer Anjana Iyer is the party's candidate for the Whau ward on the Auckland Council.[g 4] The party is also running candidates for Auckland's local boards: disability activist Jonty Carroll and urban planner Emma McInnes for the Albert-Eden Local Board,[g 5][g 6] Peter Sykes for the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board,[g 7] Zooey Neumann for the Henderson-Massey Local Board,[g 8] and Caitlin Wilson for the Waitematā Local Board.[g 9]

New Zealand Labour Party

Labour announced they would campaign on a pro-Māori ward position.[34]

Labour extended nominations for their candidate for mayor of Wellington after being unable to find a candidate.[39] Labour leader Chris Hipkins said he thought the city needed "a really good shake-up", saying the party would potentially endorse an independent candidate.[39] Former Labour leader Andrew Little was approached by the party and announced on 16 April that he would run for the party in Wellington.[40] Though there were still formalities before being officially announced as the party's candidate, Little had received support from Hipkins for the job.[40] Little was announced as the official party candidate on 28 April.[41]

Incumbent Wellington city councillors Ben McNulty and Nureddin Abdurahman would run again for their respective wards (Takapū/Northern and Paekawakawa/Southern); Afnan Al-Rubayee, Matthew Reweti, Sam O'Brien and Joy Gribben were announced as the party's candidates in the other wards.[39][42] Daran Ponter (incumbent chairman) and Tom James (non-incumbent) would run for seats on the Greater Wellington Regional Council.[39]

In Dunedin, Labour endorsed incumbent councillor Steve Walker and Otago University Students' Association politics representative Jett Groshunki as Dunedin City Council candidates in the 2025 Dunedin City Council election.[43]

Labour endorsed former city councillor Zulfiqar Butt and third-term incumbent city councillor Lorna Johnson for election to the Palmerston North City Council.[44]

Local groups

Several groups of independent fiscally conservative candidates were formed to contest various council seats. This included Better Hamilton in Hamilton, Better Waipā in Waipā, and Independent Together in Wellington.[45]

Hoarding vandalism

On 13 September, a hoarding showing ACT Local candidate for Whangārei's Bream Bay ward, Matt Yovich, was pulled down after being damaged by gun bullets. The hoarding had six bullet holes and several bullet casings were found nearby. Yovich reported the shooting to the Police, who launched an investigation.[46]

Territorial authorities

Main article: Results of the 2025 New Zealand territorial authority elections

The city and district level of government in New Zealand is organised into areas controlled by territorial authorities. Some of these also have the powers of regional governments and are known as unitary authorities. The Chatham Islands have their own specially legislated form of government.

Tauranga did not hold elections due to having already held elections in 2024.[54][55]

Aftermath

By-election

A by-election was triggered in the Vincent ward of the Central Otago District following the resignation of councillor-elect Dave McKenzie on 15 October. McKenzie was investigated by the Central Otago District Council for alleged financial misconduct while working as a contractor. These allegations included overcharging the Council by NZ$1,000 in an invoice.[64]

Electoral irregularities

On 11 October, Communities & Residents candidate Debbie Burrows attempted to interfere with special voting at a polling booth in Onehunga by taking photographs. Electoral officer Dale Ofsoske confirmed that he had received several complaints describing Burrows' behaviour as a violation of Local Electoral Act provisions prohibiting people from influencing or interfering with voting on election day. Ofsoske submitted these reports to Police, who launched an investigation into Burrows' actions. In response, Burrows denied she had committed any wrongdoing and stated that she did not know that special voting was allowed to occur after postal booths closed at midday on election day.[65]

In late October 2025, The Spinoff reported that Police were investigating alleged election fraud after all four members of the new Papatoetoe-Otara Action Team were elected onto the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board's Papatoetoe division by a landslide over their opponents, with margins of 1,000 plus. Their opponents alleged that voting papers were stolen from peoples' letter boxes and that voters were still recorded as having voted despite never receiving their voting papers. Police also received complaints that people had allegedly been instructed how to vote inside polling booths and a Sikh gurdwara. The Papatoetoe-Otara Action Team's campaign manager Rajesh Goya has denied allegations of voter fraud and attributed the ticket's electoral victory to vigorous campaigning and an influx of Indians and Indo-Fijians to Papatoetoe.[65] By 10 December 2025, Justice Richard McIlraith had identified 79 irregular votes including 53 wrongfully-cast votes. Labour candidate Vi Hausia, who came fifth in the community board race, has sought to compile evidence of electoral fraud in order to force a by-election.[66] On 16 December, McIlraith ruled that electoral irregularities materially affected the result of the Papatoetoe subdivision of the local board election and voided the results, ordering a by-election.[67]

Alleged harassment

In late October 2025, Manurewa Local Board member Joseph Allan laid a code-of-conduct complaint against a man whom he accused of creating fake Facebook accounts to harass him and his allies, while praising a rival candidate.[65]

Alleged voting irregularities

On 16 October 2025, the outgoing Mayor of Kaipara Craig Jepson called an emergency meeting prior to the expected release of the 2025 Kaipara District Council election on 17 October. He said that the purpose of the emergency meeting was to approve a complaint and request an investigation into alleged improprieties that occurred during the 2025 Kaipara District Council election and 2025 Northland Regional Council Māori constituency referendum.[68] Following a tense public meeting, the Kaipara District Council voted by a margin of 5 to 3 votes to endorse Jepson's complaint alleging irregularities in the election process.[69] On 20 October, the Department of Internal Affairs's local government general manager Richard Ward confirmed the department had received Jepson's complaint but clarified that it did not have the jurisdiction to investigate the complaint and was unable to halt the release of local election results in Kaipara. The department stated that local body elections were the responsibility of the local electoral officer: the Auckland-based company Election Services's managing direct Dale Ofsoske. Ofsoske defended the integrity of Kaipara's elections. Kaipara District Council chief executive Jason Marris said that several "small issues" had been addressed while one issue had been referred to the Police.[70]

On 3 November 2025, Radio New Zealand reported that 288 (62%) of the 468 special votes cast during the Kaipara District Council election had been excluded for various reasons including voters not being on the electoral roll, outdated enrolment details, and incomplete declaration forms. Nine votes were also excluded because individuals had tried to vote twice, once using their original voting papers and a second time using the special voting form. Defeated mayoral candidate Snow Tane argued that the high number of rejected special votes suggested that special voters had been improperly guided through the special voting process, which he described as a "systematic failure." In October, Tane had unsuccessfully applied for a recount of Kaipara mayoral election votes due to his close margin with mayor-elect Jonathan Larsen. Justice Kevin Kelly had declined Tane's application on the grounds that he had not provided sufficient evidence of voting irregularities. Fellow Kaipara mayoral candidate Ash Nayyar had also unsuccessfully applied for a recount on the grounds that a high proportion of special votes had been excluded in the Wairoa ward.[71]

Vote recount

On 11 November, the Porirua District Court ordered a vote recount in the Porirua City Council's Māori ward, which incumbent councillor Kylie Wihapi had won by a narrow 11 vote margin. The defeated challenger Jess Te Huai had applied for a recount at the Porirua District Court on 21 October. Due to the contested result, the Porirua City Council had been unable to hold its inaugural meeting until final rulings on the recount. Porirua had voted to retain its Māori during the 2025 referendum held alongside the local elections.[72]
