[Today's Lisa Zate Topic] Today's NZ News: I went to vote today!
Now it's time for an election. It started 2 days ago and has 12 days left. I also went to vote earlier.
First, go to the polling place in your area (about 5 places in my area) and tell them your name, address, and month of birth. Those who have the right to vote in advance should have details on the list, so the staff will confirm and then i can go inside. At that time, you will be given something like a card with only the number written on a small piece of paper, and take it to the staff in the back. Then you will be asked to confirm your ID in a different list. Then you will be given a voting paper.
One is orange ... Which party to choose (there are 17 parties in NZ, and also who to recommend from your area (about 5 from my area, one from each different party) The parties of these two choices do not have to be same.
The other is purple ... Whether or not the use of cannabis is permitted by law & selection of end of life when you have a terminal illness such as brain death Whether or not to change these two by law
It is a vote with these two points.
Voting rights are given only to citizens (NZ passport holders) and those who hold permanent residence visa, and details such as address are confirmed in advance. Of course, if you are not good at English linguistically, an assistant that suits your language will be provided. In addition, consideration is given to people with disabilities, making it possible to vote.
The current prime minister is from the Labor party, and this time as well, the party hopes that she will continue to be the prime minister. The strong party is the National Party, and the leader is a woman as well. This time it seems to be a confrontation between these two ladies. Results will be announced on the 17th.
