- Takuta Ferris - Te Pāti Māori

It comes after early voting officially opened Monday.
People can vote at any of the 2600 polling stations scattered across Aotearoa - even if it's outside your electorate.
Te Kaitiaki Take Kōwhiri / Electoral Commission recommends people enrol online before voting, to speed up the process.
However, you can still enrol and vote in-person at voting stations.
