[Video: Upbeat music plays behind the narrator’s voice while the words ‘How to vote’ appear in the middle of the screen.]
Narrator: "How to vote."
[Video: A circle appears containing an animated stamped envelope with a hand holding it. Next to this, another circle appears containing an animated letterbox.]
Narrator: "Enrolled voters are sent a voting pack in the mail, so keep an eye on your letterbox."
[Video: A stamped envelope appears and opens. A yellow booklet slides out and flicks through the pages, opening to a page that says ‘How to vote’ and ‘Candidates.’ This is replaced by an animation of an open laptop. Below it, the words ‘vote.auckland.co.nz’ are shown.]
Narrator: "Once it arrives, open it straight away and look at your voting guide, a booklet that contains instructions on how to vote and information on all the candidates. Or go to voteauckland.co.nz to see more detailed candidate profiles and find out ways to meet them."
[Video: Four animated circles appear in a line. The first contains an animation of a woman with a flower in her hair wearing a floral garland or lei. The second shows an image of a man with a beard. The third shows an image of a man wearing a turban. The fourth shows an image of a person wearing reading glasses. Below each image is a round checkbox, with a green tick appearing under the second image. The screen zooms out to a document, which slides into an orange envelope.]
Narrator: "Tick the circle next to the candidates you think will best represent you and put the paper into the orange envelope."
[Video: A circle appears containing an animated image of a postbox, showing the orange envelope sliding into it. Next to it, an animated calendar appears with the words ‘Four days’ on it. The screen shifts to a circle containing an animated image of a voting box, showing a hand dropping an orange envelope into it.]
Narrator: "To submit your vote, you can either mail it freepost four days before the last voting day or drop it into one of the many vote boxes around Auckland."
[Video: A circle appears containing an image of a letterbox with a large red question mark next to it. Then an image of a hand holding a smartphone replaces it and the number ‘0800 922 822’ is shown.]
Narrator: "If your voting pack hasn’t arrived, you can still vote by calling 0800 922 822 for a special vote."
[Video: The words ‘Altogether Auckland. Tāmaki Tūruki.’ appear in the middle of the screen below the Auckland Council logo. The URL for the Vote Auckland page is shown as voteauckland.co.nz while upbeat music continues to play behind the narrator’s voice.]
Narrator: "Find out more about how you can take part in the local elections at voteauckland.co.nz."
