Online Voter Registration :
It’s always important to make sure you’re enrolled and ready to vote. How else will you be able to have your say on the issues that affect you, your family, and New Zealand-
Voter must be a New Zealand citizen.

** are a permanent resident of New Zealand*.

Required Information :
When you fill in your enrolment form, you will be asked a number of questions about yourself and where you live. This is to help us make sure we can enrol you in the right electorate.
Please answer all questions on the enrolment form so we can enrol you correctly. Only your name, residential address and occupation will be printed in the electoral roll.
Your Full Name :
This is needed to check that you’ve enrolled correctly, and to distinguish people with the same or similar names.
Date of Birth :
This shows your Registrar of Electors that you are old enough to enrol and can also help us distinguish between people with the same name.
Updating your details electronically :
This allows you to opt in to update your enrolment details electronically. If you wish to update your personal information online in future, please fill in a new enrolment form and tick yes in the appropriate box in section A of the enrolment form. You will need to provide your email address in Section D on the reverse of the form. Read more about updating your details electronically.
Signature and Date :
If you are a New Zealand Maori, or a descendant of a New Zealand Maori, you must sign and date in either the Maori panel or the General panel. You must not sign both. It is important you choose carefully which roll you want to be on. All other people must sign and date in the General panel. If you are physically disabled or overseas the application may be signed on your behalf.
Residential Address :
This is your home address. A New Zealand Post Box or rural delivery number isn’t enough to describe your address. We require your full home address so we can enrol you in the electorate in which you ‘reside’. You ‘reside’ at the place where you choose to make your home because of family or personal relations or for other domestic or personal reasons. Just because you may be occasionally or temporarily absent from that place does not mean that you do not reside there. Being absent from your place of residence because of your employment or education (or your spouse’s employment or education) does not affect it either. The most important factor in working out where you reside is where you choose to make your home.
Postal Address :
This is needed if your postal address is different from your residential address. We need to write to you to confirm your enrolment.
Occupation :
This can also help us distinguish between people who have the same name. It can often appear on the printed roll in a shortened form.
Are you Maori? :
Only New Zealand Maori, or descendants of New Zealand Maori, may answer by ticking the “YES” circle. All other people must tick the “NO” circle.
Phone Numbers :
These are needed in case we have to contact you.
Email :
An email address is required if you wish to be able to update your enrolment details electronically in future. Read more about email address requirements.
Sketch Map :
If you live at an un-numbered address, a sketch map showing the location of your residence is required to assist in establishing your correct electorate.
New Zealanders Overseas :
You must only fill in these panels if you’re overseas. Please print when you last lived in New Zealand, when you moved overseas, and the last address you lived at for at least one month before you left New Zealand
Helpdesk :
If you have any problems using the form, either contact us or call 0800 36 76 56. If calling from overseas, the number is +64 9 909 4182.
Note :
Cook Island Maori, Niueans and Tokelauans can enrol once they have lived in New Zealand continuously for 12 months. They do not require permanent residency to be eligible to enrol and vote.
