Christchurch City Council
The Christchurch City Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 16 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the city). One councillor will be elected from the Waimairi ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.
