Dear Electoral Commission,

 

On 19 August 2014, Hawke's Bay Today reported that "Napier's MTG has been forced to delay the launch of an exhibition of late MP Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan's clothing after the Electoral Commission raised concerns the display could influence voters on election day."

 

I request under the Official Information Act all correspondence between MTG and the Commission on this matter, and in particular any advice and request for advice about compliance with the Electoral Act 1993.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

C Beauchamp (Mrs)

Please find attached a copy of an email received by the Electoral

Commission in response by email dated 19 March 2014. 

 

Personal information has been withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the Act in

You have the right under section 28(3) of the Act to complain to the Ombudsman about the decision to withhold information or if you are not satisfied with the response to your request.
