Issues
=Low candidate numbers=
In early August 2022, Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) and several local councils including Central Otago District Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Hastings District Council, Mackenzie District Council, Nelson City Council, Otago Regional Council, Environment Southland, Queenstown Lakes District Council, Rangitikei District Council, South Waikato District Council, and Rotorua Lakes Council expressed concern about the low number of candidates standing for wards, council seats, and mayoral offices. For example, the Mackenzie District Council reported only three nominations for a total of 19 vacancies.{{cite news |last1=Manhire |first1=Toby |title=Not enough people are standing in local elections |url=https://thespinoff.co.nz/local-elections-2022/10-08-2022/not-enough-people-are-standing-for-local-elections |access-date=13 August 2022 |work=The Spinoff |date=10 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810213743/https://thespinoff.co.nz/local-elections-2022/10-08-2022/not-enough-people-are-standing-for-local-elections |archive-date=10 August 2022}}{{cite news |title=Shortage of council candidates in many areas ahead of elections |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/472353/shortage-of-council-candidates-in-many-areas-ahead-of-elections |access-date=13 August 2022 |work=Radio New Zealand |date=6 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220806122043/https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/472353/shortage-of-council-candidates-in-many-areas-ahead-of-elections |archive-date=6 August 2022}}{{cite news |last1=Guest |first1=Tessa |title=Despair over low number of local government election candidates |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/despair-over-low-number-of-local-government-election-candidates/HR6OR575S3H22MMQF2TSOFPVPY/ |access-date=13 August 2022 |work=The New Zealand Herald |date=10 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810064924/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/despair-over-low-number-of-local-government-election-candidates/HR6OR575S3H22MMQF2TSOFPVPY/ |archive-date=10 August 2022}}
LGNZ President Stuart Crosby attributed the low number of candidates to several factors including abusive rhetoric directed against electoral officials on issues such as the Three Waters reform programme and resource management reform, and low remuneration rates which disadvantaged candidates from young and diverse communities in rural and provincial areas. Local government consultant Peter McKinlay identified central government pressure on local councils, compliance requirements, and changes to governing arrangements since the 1980s as factors discouraging people from standing for local government positions.
=Low voter turnout=
The 2022 local elections reported a record low voter turnout across the country. By 28 September, Auckland had reported a voter turnout of 8.8%, 10.9% in Christchurch, 4.9% in Wellington, 3.9% in Taupō, and 19.8% in the Westland District.{{cite news |title='Abysmal' early voter turnout raises questions around approach to local elections |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/2018860532/abysmal-early-voter-turnout-raises-questions-around-approach-to-local-elections |access-date=2 October 2022 |work=Radio New Zealand |date=28 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928081703/https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/2018860532/abysmal-early-voter-turnout-raises-questions-around-approach-to-local-elections |archive-date=28 September 2022|url-status=live}} Low voter turnout was also reported in other urban centres and regions including Dunedin, Invercargill, Nelson, Rotorua, Queenstown, the Northland Region, South Canterbury, and the New Plymouth District.{{cite news |last1=Manhire |first1=Toby |title=Gulp.

In response to low voter turnout, Auckland mayoral candidates Efeso Collins and Wayne Brown advocated scrapping the postal voter system in favour of online voting.{{cite news |last1=Forbes |first1=Stephen |title=Auckland's leading mayoral candidates support online voting option to arrest poor turnout |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/475735/auckland-s-leading-mayoral-candidates-support-online-voting-option-to-arrest-poor-turnout |access-date=2 October 2022 |work=Radio New Zealand |date=29 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221002044543/https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/475735/auckland-s-leading-mayoral-candidates-support-online-voting-option-to-arrest-poor-turnout |archive-date=2 October 2022|url-status=live}}

One Northland electoral official advocated transferring management of local elections to the Electoral Commission, which manages the triennial general elections.
By 9 October, The New Zealand Herald reported that the national voter turnout for the 2022 local elections was a record low 36 percent. Voter turnout in local body elections had declined in New Zealand over the past 25 years since 1989, which recorded a national voter turnout of 57%. In response, Local Government New Zealand President Stuart Crosby, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and National Party leader Christopher Luxon called for an independent review and urgent reform to the voting system for local elections.{{cite news |last1=Neilson |first1=Michael |title=Local elections 2022: Calls for review over 'extremely concerning' record low turnout |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/local-elections-2022-calls-for-review-over-extremely-concerning-record-low-turnout/TMDMIHJEO7ER7C6LYD3DRWES24/ |access-date=9 October 2022 |work=The New Zealand Herald |date=9 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221009114807/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/local-elections-2022-calls-for-review-over-extremely-concerning-record-low-turnout/TMDMIHJEO7ER7C6LYD3DRWES24/ |archive-date=9 October 2022|url-status=live}}
On 28 October, the Future for Local Government group advocated several recommendations aimed at improving voter turnout at future local body elections including lowering the voting age to 16 years old, four-year terms, raising salaries for elected local officials, implementing the single transferable voting system nationwide, and improving engagement with the public particularly Māori voters.{{cite news |last1=Bradford |first1=Katie |title=Lower voting age, four-year terms suggested by local gov group |url=https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/10/28/lower-voting-age-four-year-terms-suggested-by-local-gov-group/ |access-date=28 October 2022 |work=1News |publisher=TVNZ |date=28 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221027230331/https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/10/28/lower-voting-age-four-year-terms-suggested-by-local-gov-group/|archive-date=27 October 2022|url-status=live}}

In mid–August 2022, Stuff and the Guardian Australia reported that the anti-vaccination group Voices for Freedom (VFF) had encouraged its members to contest the 2022 local elections with the intention of infiltrating local government bodies in order to make New Zealand "ungovernable" at the local government level. VFF candidates were instructed to conceal their affiliation with the group when running as candidates. Victoria University of Wellington political scientist Dr Mona Krewel expressed concern that VFF candidates could be elected due to the low number of candidates and possible low voter turnout.{{cite news |last1=Cleave |first1=Louisa |last2=Penford |first2=Paula |title=Anti-vax group wanting to make NZ 'ungovernable' targets local body elections |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/stuff-circuit/300660552/antivax-group-wanting-to-make-nz-ungovernable-targets-local-body-elections |access-date=15 August 2022 |work=Stuff |date=15 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220814204937/https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/stuff-circuit/300660552/antivax-group-wanting-to-make-nz-ungovernable-targets-local-body-elections |archive-date=14 August 2022}}{{cite news |last1=Corlett |first1=Eva |title=New Zealand anti-vax group urges supporters to stand for councils and 'throw weight around' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/16/new-zealand-anti-vax-group-urges-supporters-to-stand-for-councils-and-throw-weight-around |access-date=9 September 2022 |work=The Guardian |date=16 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220909004030/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/16/new-zealand-anti-vax-group-urges-supporters-to-stand-for-councils-and-throw-weight-around |archive-date=9 September 2022|url-status=live}}

In early September 2022, Local Government NZ launched a campaign to help voters identify conspiracy theorists and extremists running for local government positions. Anti-misinformation group FACT Aotearoa had identified 170 candidates with extremist views or who were associated with anti-vaccination or anti-government groups. Massey University's Centre for Defence and Security Studies director Dr William Hoverd attributed the surge in "extremist" candidates to the occupation of the New Zealand Parliament's grounds during the 2022 Wellington protest, which in his view "had unified and galvanised groups with little in common other than their dissatisfaction with the Government."{{cite news |title=LGNZ launches voter education campaign as conspiracists, extremists stand for election |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/473913/lgnz-launches-voter-education-campaign-as-conspiracists-extremists-stand-for-election |access-date=20 September 2022 |work=Radio New Zealand |date=1 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220908075219/https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/473913/lgnz-launches-voter-education-campaign-as-conspiracists-extremists-stand-for-election |archive-date=8 September 2022|url-status=live}}
Following the release of preliminary local election results on 8 October, Stuff reported that fewer than twelve Voices of Freedom–affiliated candidates had been elected to local government positions. The VFF had fielded over 200 candidates who were contesting 159 races. Notable successful pro-VFF candidates have included Southland District Council member Jaspreet Bosparai, Teviot Community Board member Gill Booth, Deputy Mayor of Whanganui Jenny Duncan, Paraparaumu/Raumati Community board member Jonny Best, Waikato Regional Council member Clyde Graf, Selwyn District Council member Elizabeth Mundt, Hibiscus and Bays Local Board member Leanne Willis, Oraka Aparima community board member Emma Gould, and Taupo District Council member Duncan Campbell. In addition, several incumbent councillors who had expressed support for VFF's views including Carterton District Council member Jill Greathead and Gisborne District Council member Meredith Akuhata-Brown were defeated.{{cite news |last1=Vance |first1=Andrea |last2=Mitchell |first2=Charlie |title=Fewer than a dozen 'disinformation' candidates elected to councils |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/476356/fewer-than-a-dozen-disinformation-candidates-elected-to-councils |access-date=12 October 2022 |work=Radio New Zealand |date=9 October 2022}}
=Three Waters reform programme=
Following the conclusion of the local elections in early October 2022, surveys conducted by the online media organisations Newsroom and The Spinoff found that a majority of elected mayors opposed the Government's Three Waters reform programme, a national water infrastructure programme that would take management of water assets and services away from local government bodies. While Newsroom{{'s}} survey of 220 newly-elected mayors and councillors found that 76% of respondents of 220 newly-elected mayors and councillors surveyed opposed the Three Water reforms, the Spinoff found that 43 of the 66 elected mayors surveyed opposed the reforms.{{cite news |last1=Milne |first1=Jonathan |title=Newsroom survey reveals two faces of local change |url=https://www.newsroom.co.nz/newsroom-survey-reveals-two-faces-of-local-change |access-date=24 October 2022 |work=Newsroom |date=10 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011065439/https://www.newsroom.co.nz/newsroom-survey-reveals-two-faces-of-local-change |archive-date=11 October 2022|url-status=live}}{{cite news |last1=Manhire |first1=Toby |title=Just how big was the 'change' vote, and how many mayors hate Three Waters? |url=https://thespinoff.co.nz/local-elections-2022/12-10-2022/just-how-big-was-the-change-vote-and-how-many-mayors-hate-three-waters |access-date=24 October 2022 |work=The Spinoff |date=12 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022115056/https://thespinoff.co.nz/local-elections-2022/12-10-2022/just-how-big-was-the-change-vote-and-how-many-mayors-hate-three-waters |archive-date=22 October 2022|url-status=live}} Several newly-elected mayors including Mayor of Auckland Wayne Brown, Mayor of Invercargill Nobby Clark and Mayor of Nelson Nick Smith had campaigned against Three Waters during their mayoral races.{{cite news |title=Auckland mayor Wayne Brown asks Watercare, council to stop work on Three Waters |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/476840/auckland-mayor-wayne-brown-asks-watercare-council-to-stop-work-on-three-waters |access-date=18 October 2022 |work=Radio New Zealand |date=17 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221017205727/https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/476840/auckland-mayor-wayne-brown-asks-watercare-council-to-stop-work-on-three-waters|archive-date=17 October 2022|url-status=live}}{{cite news |last1=Brunton |first1=Tess |title=New Invercargill Mayor points to different leadership style after Sir Tim's departure |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/local-elections-2022%20/476411/new-invercargill-mayor-points-to-different-leadership-style-after-sir-tim-s-departure |access-date=11 October 2022 |work=Radio New Zealand |date=10 October 2022}}{{cite news |title=Three Waters is 'death wish' for central govt – Nick Smith |url=https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/10/09/three-waters-is-death-wish-for-central-govt-nick-smith/ |access-date=10 October 2022 |work=1News |publisher=TVNZ |date=9 October 2022}}

= Territorial authorities =
The city and district level of government in New Zealand is organised into areas controlled by territorial authorities. Some of these also have the powers of regional governments and are known as unitary authorities. The Chatham Islands have their own specially legislated form of government.
No elections were held for the Tauranga City Council during the 2022 local elections due to the council being under a Crown commission. Elections for Tauranga City Council were instead held in 2024.
