The region’s mayors and councillors for the next three years have now been decided with voting officially closed in the 2022 Local Body Elections.
Nelson App will be live with results as they come in on Saturday afternoon.
Nelson will have a new mayor, as three-term mayor Rachel Reese decided not to stand for the position again.
Former-Nelson MP Nick Smith, former-councillor Kerry Neal as well as current councillors Rohan O’Neill-Stevens, Matt Lawrey and Tim Skinner are all vying for head of the table along with John Wakelin and Richard Osmaston.
Tasman incumbent Tim King is seeking a second term as the district’s Mayor after spending a previous 21 years at the council table – 18 of those as deputy mayor.
Progress results will be available this afternoon.
