You will be able to upload your voting papers here from 9am, Wednesday 20 August until 7pm on election day, Saturday 6 September (New Zealand time).
IMPORTANT: Before returning your voting papers, make sure both you and your witness have correctly completed and signed your special vote declaration, or your vote may not be counted. We cannot accept typed signatures, including any signature using a handwriting font.
If you're uploading a scan or photograph of printed voting papers, please make sure that no part of your voting papers have been cropped or cut off.
You can find detailed instructions about how to complete your voting papers here.
You can only upload your voting papers if you’re overseas.
Your voting papers consist of:

You can only upload your own voting papers.
Check your voting papers before you submit them. Submitting your voting papers more than once may mean that your vote will not count.
