There are five positions in total on the Akaroa-Wairewa Community Board, with three representing Akaroa and the other two Wairewa.
Electoral Officer Clare Sullivan says Pamela Richardson and Leigh Hickey have now been elected unopposed to the board for Akaroa. A by-election for a third Community Board member will be held in the New Year. The date of the by-election is still to be confirmed.
Nominations closed on Friday, 20 August for the election, which will be held on Saturday 9 October.
Three candidates – Stewart Miller, Mario Downes and Bryan Morgan - have put in their nominations for the two Wairewa positions on the board so these will be contested in this year’s election in October.
