In a recent poll conducted by What’s On Invers, Invercargill ratepayers have shown a clear preference for the status quo when it comes to the voting age and electoral system. The poll, which had two questions, asked if the voting age should be lowered to 16 from 18 years and whether the current FPP (First past the post) or STV (Single Transferable Vote) system should be kept.
The results of the poll indicated that Invercargill ratepayers are happy with the current voting age and electoral system. A total of 343 votes were cast, with 94.19% voting to keep the voting age at 18 and 74.21% voting to keep the current FPP system.
