Nominations close for Trust Horizon election

When nominations closed at 12 noon on Friday 4 August 2023 for the Trust Horizon election, a total of three nominations had been received: one for the Kawerau District Council area (for one vacancy), and two for the Ōpōtiki District Council area (for one vacancy).

The one nomination for the Kawerau District Council area was from incumbent trustee Edwina O’Brien. As the number of candidates does not exceed the number of positions (1), an election will not be required. This candidate is therefore declared elected unopposed.

The candidates for the Ōpōtiki District Council area are:

HENNESSY, Kevin Joseph and

SHELDRAKE, Terry

An election will be held for the one position on the Trust on Monday 2 October 2023.

Voting documents will be delivered from Monday 4 September 2023 to approximately 4,600 electricity consumers in the Ōpōtiki District Council area.
