If you're voting from overseas, you must be enrolled by midnight on Friday 13 October (NZ time) but enrol earlier if you can. You won’t be able to download your voting papers if you are not enrolled.
How to complete your voting papers
Overseas voters can now complete their voting papers using an electronic device. This includes overseas voters and their witnesses signing the special vote declaration using a digital signature. Please note that we can not accept your voting papers if the signature is typed font. We can only allow then where your normal signature is present.
You may also choose to print your voting papers and complete them by hand.
