Show Notes
Participation in local elections is at a historic low and there's growing calls for reform.
Turnout's been higher in rural areas and much lower in the main cities, but data shows under 40 percent of eligible voters made their voices heard.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis says a simpler solution is needed, much like the general elections.
"It might be simpler if it was just - turn up and vote. Turn up to the booth, turn up to the place just as you do for the general Government elections."
