Error on voting papers

VOTING papers for the Port Waikato electorate had to be reprinted after the original forms had no circle for voters to tick next to Vision New Zealand’s name.

There was a space, but no circle, for voters to tick next to the party’s name on the papers.

The mistake was discovered about noon on Monday, after which voting continued using papers with the correct format, the Electoral Commission said.

Vision New Zealand was polling at about 1%, according to the latest 1 NewsColmar Brunton poll, released last week. — The New Zealand Herald
