Thread: fish and game elections

The returning officer I suspect has been told forthright to refer all enquires back to NZF&G. I was told not long after the election by the returning officer that they were not contracted to provide post election evaluation. The election regs say the rolls are held at the office of the region concerned which with any amount of competence the returning officer would have told you. NZF&G have a statutory obligation to oversee the election process and if there are any concerns about the elections that is where the buck stops.

Did you outline your concerns to NZF&G?

Warrick Lammp is a bit "Shadey" (see what I did there) and already knows the rules. He was wasting your time as you can see by his quote.

"Under the Fish and Game Council Elections Regulations 1990, only the Returning Officer is entitled to have access to the licence holder database for election purposes. In so doing, I will make available a hard copy of the electoral roll at each F&G regional office where an election is being held.

so then he would have SCRUTANISED the roll of every electorate[ or his co would have] and would know who,s registered to vote where??

Essentially yes, but the contracted returning officer is not the returning officer for all regional elections necessarily. Sometimes it's the regions manager. Collation of information would fall to NZF&G as part of it's responsibility under the Conservation Act in my mind, but they place responsibility on the contractor......

c. Allegations raised about a regional fish and game council

and the winner is

The allegations highlighted below referred to actions of the Hawke’s Bay Fish and Game Council and its previous manager.

ps regions not having a vote dont need to supply a role for the returning officer.
