Still time to enrol

ONE NEWS: Nearly 95% of people eligible to vote in Saturday's general election are enrolled to do so.

But there are still around 160,000 people who haven't yet.

Murray Wicks, Manager of Electoral Enrolment says if enough of those people manage to get their applications in on Friday, then there could be a record number of people on this year's roll.

Wicks says a good democracy only works if everyone participates.

Anyone yet to enrol can do so at any New Zealand Post Shop, or by faxing a form to the Electoral Commission available on their website.
