The board is made up of six members: four members elected by voters, and two members from the South Wairarapa District Council.  This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Featherston Community Board election.
