The deadline for returning voting papers by mail has passed, but people can drop off their voting papers at any open Council service centre or library between now and noon on Saturday 8 October, including Redwood Library (pic) and the Papanui Service Centre. If you did not receive voting papers in the mail but are eligible to vote, you can request a special vote.
See this link for more details including a full list of ballot box locations (some may not be open Saturday morning):
