Rock Around the Clock event poster

Time is ticking! Daylight savings begins that night, and the countdown is on to cast your vote in the local elections.

Join us for an afternoon packed with:

  • Live music
  • Tasty food truck treats
  • Games and activities for kids
  • A quiz and spin-to-win wheel for adults, with prizes including a luxury weekend at Makoura Lodge, free event passes, and the chance to light up the clocktower in your favourite colours

Bring your voting papers to drop off. If you haven’t enrolled yet, you can still make a special vote on the day, just bring photo ID.

You’ll also be able to learn more about what Council does and ask questions about the election and referendum.

Please note: council candidates won’t be at this event.

Free buses will run all day thanks to Horizons Regional Council. (On all Palmerston North urban routes and Massey University routes.)

This is a weather-dependent event. Any cancellation will be confirmed two days before.
