Hamilton challenges other cities to a Vote Off

Hamilton City is challenging other councils around the country to a Vote Off to see who can get the most residents to vote. They are hoping to turn around what is traditionally appallingly low-voter turnout in local body elections. In the last election in 2016, only 42 per cent of eligible voters nationally bothered to vote. In Hamilton, just one-in-three people, or 33-point-six percent voted, the lowest return of any city. Andrew McRae compiled this report.
