The 2024 Tauranga local elections were held via postal voting from 29 June 2024 to 20 July 2024.[1] Elections in Tauranga covered one territorial authority, the Tauranga City Council.
These were the first elections for the Tauranga City Council since 2019, following the appointment by the Minister of Local Government of a Crown Commission to oversee Tauranga City Council's governance responsibilities on 9 February 2021.[1]
The Tauranga City Council used the single transferable voting system to elect the Mayor of Tauranga and city councillors[2] for a term that will last until the 2028 local elections.[3][4]
Tauranga City Council created nine electoral wards for these elections. There were eight general wards (Mauao/Mount Maunganui, Arataki, Pāpāmoa, Welcome Bay, Matua-Otūmoetai, Bethlehem, Tauriko and Te Papa) and one Māori ward (Te Awanui, covering the entire city) which each returned one councillor.[2]
