Candidate spending in local elections

From Afternoons, 1:16 pm on 19 June 2019

Campaigning for local elections is underway with the vote in October this year. This is when we decide who will represent us in our city and district councils.  

But how much do we know about the process? For instance, how much can candidates spend on promoting themselves? In some places, candidates can spend more, much more, than MPs in a general election. 

Hamilton Councillor Paula Southgate knows exactly what this process is like and joins us to talk about it.
