The Otago Regional Council makes decisions about managing resources in the region, such as air, water, soil and the coastline. It also carries out plant and pest control, helps prepare for natural disasters, and is involved in regional transport. The council is made up of 11 councillors. Councillors are elected to represent constituencies (areas in the region). Six councillors will be elected from the Dunedin constituency. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

I stand for money at all costs. I want grass from mountain peaks to ocean shores. We must insure that the air, land, and water is maximizing our revenues for irrigation and fertilizer companies, coal mines, and industrial dairy. I stand with the current Otago Regional Council in calling for more science to delay any progress I've made, blooming slime throughout Otago's lakes and rivers.
I – Slime the Nitrate Monster – am a simple multi-celled organism, with no heart or soul, making me a perfect Otago Regional Council candidate. I have mutually beneficial connections with the corporate elites from industrial agriculture who receive financial incentives to spread slime throughout Otago. MPI is also my ally. We maximise the private profits at the cost to the ratepayers, you suckers!
