To this end, we're going to be bringing you all the information we can find about the upcoming Wellington City Council elections. We'll be bringing you all the information we can find about the candidates and the times and places for YOU to get politically active, especially in the simplest way possible: by voting.WCC elections will be held on the 13th of October 2007.
