The following feedback on the election campaign briefing to SFRC on 18 September 2023 set out below:
1. What support for councillors will be provided?
-
This is a discussion to be held with CE and Commissioners and sits outside campaign.
-
Will need to clarify support prior to candidate college.
-
Some councils provide separate support to councillors e.g. Wellington City Council
2. For Public meetings for LTP – Commissioners want to have information to hand out at their meetings
-
Leaflet – ward maps, date for candidate college, attributes of good candidate – link back to website
-
Have this leaflet available by 15 November
-
Basic information on website by 15 November
3. Candidate College – wanted that earlier than March – agreed for it to be late February 2024 so we can advertise
– look at Saturday, 24 February 2024.
-
I will confirm venue for that date – looking at Historic Village or Baycourt
-
Want to see a panel of ex-councillors and one young councillor talking about their experiences (include a
young councillor from a metro – can recruit from LGNZ young elected members forum)
-
Liked idea about stalls – clearly set out projects and priorities
4. Video each candidate – liked this
Three questions to ask each candidate
-
Do you support the strategic direction in the LTP? – first question
-
Why are you standing for council?
-
What are your top 3 priorities for the city?
5. Nudge vote is crucial – very important to do this – can we use community organisations we have relationship
with to use their networks?
