Kāpiti Coast District Council elections are happening later this year, and it’s a great time for our community and social sector to connect with candidates.

Submit Sector Questions for Candidates
Volunteer Kāpiti will collate sector-wide questions and submit them to candidates on behalf of the sector. This allows organisations who may not be able to attend in person to have their voices heard and have collective consideration.
Ways to submit your questions:
• Online Form – https://forms.office.com/r/L0zJzcBnjp
• Email: manager@volunteerkapiti.org.nz
Example questions could include:
• What is your connection with the Community and Social Sector in Kāpiti and Ōtaki?
• How will you support a thriving Community and Social Sector if elected?
Suggested next steps for organisations to consider:
- Discuss with your Board or Committee – What questions should we ask candidates?
- Submit your questions via the form or email
- Attend the Meet the Candidate events where possible
