In 2013, New Zealand’s national voter turnout for mayoral elections dropped to 41%, with young people (18–24). VoteLocal is a game-based questionnaire that guides people towards the mayoral candidate whose policies and ideals best match up with their own. It provides information about the candidates and what they stand for, informs users about what councils do, and debunks the assumption that they aren’t relevant. Votelocal hope that the game will spark conversations about local politics with friends and family. The questionnaire is simple and easy to pick up; respond to the first 12 questions by indicating how you would prioritise competing statements. This asks you to balance demands and interests for resources, just as councils need to do everyday. VoteLocal’s questions draw off extensive research into the literature exploring voter participation, with special consideration to that published by Local Government New Zealand.
