Local Elections
Local government elections occur every three years. October 2013 is the next round of local government elections. The 2007 elections were the first conducted where the Community Outcomes are fully integrated into the Long Term Council Community Plan and audited for this purpose. All territorial authorities must have Community Outcomes printed and integrated into the LTCCP 2006-2016.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or elections:
“Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald’s food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and “retro” clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
