The Rotary Club of Invercargill has had a long tradition of supporting and promoting the importance of voting in both local and general elections.
Over the years the Club has co-ordinated a number of events including meet the candidates, candidates Q & A's and debates.
In 2023 the Club collaborated with the Southland Business Chamber on a “Meet the Candidates” evening for the public to hear from Invercargill Electorate candidates standing in the October General Election.
The Club is supporting the Southland Business Chamber with their 'The Great Debate' event on 19th August with volunteers on the ground.
We are encouraging members, friends and family to get along as attendees and share details of this event in your networks encouraging people elegible to vote to get some insight into who maybe leading our City for the next 3 years to assist with their voting decision.
