Kia ora koutou e te whānau o Wakatū,
Thank you to all who participated in our two Special General Meetings this year and in particular to those who voted with respect to the Special Resolution regarding the introduction of online and postal voting in addition to proxy and in-person voting for the election of Board members to the Wakatū Board.
The special resolution was passed at our SGM on 11 May in Nelson with strong support.
Following this, we’ve now appointed election management services company electionz.com to manage the end-to-end delivery of our Wakatū Board elections, ensuring our voting process is fair, transparent and secure.
The AGM is being held on Saturday 30 November 2024 at our new venue - Kono Horticulture, Motueka.
Electionz.com is an experienced and independent election provider. You can read more about them here: https://www.electionz.com/
Getting ready to vote online or by post
Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll share more information about the process of voting online or by post so that Owners feel confident in how online and postal voting works, and how to take part, in advance of November’s AGM. There’s nothing you need to do yet.
Please remember, the introduction of online and postal voting is additional to our existing methods of voting. You are still able to vote in person or by proxy should you prefer.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Nāku noa, nā
Johnny McGregor
Wakatū Incorporation - Chair
