The Otago Regional Council is switching from from first past the post, to STV (single transferable vote) for this year’s council elections. This aligns with the DCC system which has been working well for years.

Prof Janine Hayward has some good advice.

"After first past the post (FPP), there was a tendency among some people to rank every single candidate on the ballot sheet, but really that’s unnecessary."

⬆️ Yep. That was me, ranking climate deniers at number 40-something then being required to rank every other candidate in between.

"Put simply, if you don’t like the candidate, don’t rank them."

Amen.

With the Otago Regional Council due to vote on their land and water plan tomorrow, the government of heavy-handedness has just announced an amendment to the RMA Amendment Bill. This stops the ORC, or any council, from notifying freshwater plans before the national policy statement for freshwater management (NPSFM) is replaced.

"This government is developing a worrying habit of obstructing democratic processes when they don't get their way."
