Youth and the election
Hurunui’s Youth councillors are doing
their bit to help this years government
elections be free and fair.
Voting in the 2023 General Election
opens on Monday, October 2, and closes
on Saturday, October 14.
Youth Councillors Tamzyn Murdoch,
Will Munsey and Aliannah Thompson
spent aSunday polishing up their
knowledge of what makes arobust
democracy, looking at the importance of
political neutrality for those in public
office.
The training took place in
Christchurch and was organised by the
Rerenga Awa Canterbury Youth
Workers Collective, anetwork that
supports those working with youth.
Aliannah says the training brought
home how important it is to create afair,
non­judgmental environment when
engaging the youth voice and provided
useful tips on how to help youth
councillors navigate potentially difficult
situations.
‘‘You can’t voice your personal
political beliefs when representing the
Youth Council, but you can get young
people interested in the elections,’’ says
Will.
He says one of the challenges is getting
young people who have turned 18 to get
engaged in enrolling to vote.
Tim Perry, Manager of CYWC, says the
request for training came from the youth
groups involved in the network,
particularly youth councils.
He says as this is an election year it’s
important for these young people to
know how to be politically neutral in
their roles, and to develop how they
work alongside others who may have
different opinions to their own.
Tamzyn says it was helpful for the
youth councillors to consider which hat
they were wearing when having
conversations in political spaces, an
exercise, she says, that was especially
useful.
Perry says it was effective having the
training delivered by the Electoral
Commissions youth advisors.
‘‘It’s really neat having younger people
delivering training for young people.’’
Hurunui District Councils Youth
Development Officer Jo Sherwood says
the training was agreat way for the
youth councillors to look at how they can
promote voting in this years general
elections in aneutral way.
