Nick Clark: Senior fellow at The New Zealand Initiative comments on low voter turnout for local elections
from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Roughly 70% of Kiwis did not vote in the recent local elections. It's shaping up to be the worst voter turnout in 36 years, with only 23% of Aucklanders voting in the local elections. Senior fellow at the New Zealand Initiative Nick Clark told Ryan Bridge that making local elections in larger cities even more local would encourage more people to vote. "It might be a bit of an out there solution to make councils more local rather than less local." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
