Kia ora Julian

 

I am acknowledging your Official Information Act request, received 4
January 2021.

 

The request is as follows:

 

“I would like to request a full breakdown of the costs of the last
election (2020). I would like to know exactly what the cost to the
taxpayer is for holding elections, i.e costs of running polling booths,
what amount is contributed to the campaigns, marketing material, and
advertising for enrolling to vote.

Do you have any explanation as to why the costs have doubled since the
last election (2017)?

Can you also provide any advice, policy work or correspondence around a
four-year term?”

 

Under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), we have 20 working days
for response.

Kia ora Electoral Commission,

I would like to request a full breakdown of the costs of the last election
(2020). I would like to know exactly what the cost to the taxpayer is for
holding elections, i.e costs of running polling booths, what amount is
contributed to the campaigns, marketing material, and advertising for
enrolling to vote.

Do you have any explanation as to why the costs have doubled since the
last election (2017)?

Can you also provide any advice, policy work or correspondence around a
four-year term?

Regards
Julian
