Kia ora Daniel,

 

Thank you for your OIA request. It’d be good to know what exactly you’re
after in relation to these elections.

 

If you’re after high-level results etc, there is some information on the
ICC website here:
[1]https://icc.govt.nz/wp-content/uploads/2...

 

Other basic information about outcomes can be found on Wikipedia etc.

 

If there’s something specific you’re after, you might need to refine your
request to be a bit more direct so that we are able to assist.

 

 

Ngâ mihi

Kia ora Daniel

As part of the information you have requested is not held by the Minister of Local Government, but is believed to be held by, and more closely related to, the functions of Invercargill City Council. Your request is therefore being transferred to the Council for a response, in accordance with section 14(b) of the Official Information Act 1982.

You can expect to hear from the Council in due course.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision to transfer. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or Freephone 0800 802 602.

DECISION ON OFFICIAL INFORMATION REQUEST

 

I refer to your official information request dated 8 June 2022 for to the
office of the Minister of Local Government, that was transferred to us to
answer in accordance with Section 14(b) Official Information Act 1982.
Your request was for the full results of all Mayoral elections held for
Invercargill City Council from 1960-1989.

 

 

The information you have requested is enclosed in so far as we hold the
records. Unfortunately there have been inconsistent legislative
requirements about what records Council needs to hold. This has meant that
a number of the records have been unable to locate in our official
archives or the informal storage. The Documents attached are a mixture of
the Declarations and Newspaper Public Notice of results.

 

However all declarations of results are required to be published in the
Southland Times. We have attached a copy of those for you for your
information- but they are not a document we hold under the Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Local
Government version of the Official Information Act ).

 

I have attached for you as follows:

 

1962- Paper Results

1965- Declaration of Results (Doc1) and 1965 is the Paper results.

1968- Paper Results

1971- Paper Results

1974- Paper Results

1977- Paper Results

1980- Paper Results

1983- Paper Results

1986- Declaration of results

1989- Declaration of Results*

 

*Please note following the 1989 re-organisation the Invercargill City
Council, briefly, became the Invercargill District Council but was changed
back to a City Council in July 1990

 

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or Freephone 0800 802 602.

 

 

 

Please note that it is our policy to proactively release our responses to
official information requests where possible. Our response to your request
will be published shortly at URL, with your personal information removed.

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

 

 

Michael Morris

Manager- Governance and Legal

Deputy Electoral Officer- Invercargill City Council and Invercargill
Licensing Trust
