The 2024 Tauranga local elections will be held via postal voting from 29 June 2024 to 20 July 2024.[1] Elections in Tauranga will cover one territorial authority, the Tauranga City Council.
These will be the first elections for the Tauranga City Council since 2019, following the appointment by the Minister of Local Government of a Crown Commission to oversee Tauranga City Council's governance responsibilities on 9 February 2021.[1]
The Tauranga City Council will use the single transferable voting system to elect the Mayor of Tauranga and city councillors[2] for a term lasting until the 2028 local elections.[3][4]
Tauranga City Council has created nine electoral wards for these elections. There are eight general wards (Mauao/Mount Maunganui, Arataki, Pāpāmoa, Welcome Bay, Matua-Otūmoetai, Bethlehem, Tauriko and Te Papa) and one Māori ward (Te Awanui, covering the entire city) which will each return one councillor.[2]
