Dear Electoral Commission,

Under the OIA please provide the following.

When was the link/page - About Māori wards and constituencies - added to
the Electoral Commission website?

Please provide all emails and correspondence relating to the addition of
this link to the Electoral Commission site. This should include review of
the content, approval and sign off.

Please provide all emails and correspondence between the Electoral
Commission, Taituarā — Local Government Professionals Aotearoa and Local
Government New Zealand relating to the link and the information provided.
This should include first approach/initial discussions etc

Please provide all emails and correspondence if any, relating to
complaints or concerns with this link. This should include any internal
emails relating to this matter.

As this matter relates to the local elections and the link has been
referred to the Auditor General, I believe this OIA request qualifies to
be treated with urgency. Please acknowledge if this is the case.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

James
