We have over $4000 bills to pay for It's in the Ballot and will need help finishing off the payments
Good evening Everyone
We have had to set a new goal as we only manage to secure 1 venue to be funded for the 2025 Campaign. So it looks like our mammoth task is going to need to be funded by the viewers, all donations to help make 2025 happen are welcomed.

We are having our pilot tomorrow, Monday 2nd June to film a 3 show production pilots, to try out the new out our new production format and would like to invite you to join in, either in person or remotely from your home
Our first show, is the community board show, which is a 1 hour format with all questions are treated as Hard hitting and the candidates are to work as a team to choose the box numbers to answer.

To show your support, tune in, make your comments and keep us entertained, you are also welcomed to share to your friends, families and supporters
In February we have made more venue booking plus paid some deposits to secure the venues
Venue payment deposits made have been
The Little Theatre - Hutt City Mayoral Debate and City Wide Ward Councilors Shows - $78.75 Deposit
Te Puke War Memorial Hall - Western Bay of Plenty Mayoral Debate, Maketu-Te Puke Ward, Maketu Community Board and Te Puke Community Board
- $87.50 - Deposit
Also some sad news, but was suitable in the situation. We have dropped Waikato District Council from the format as their shows would be in week 3 of voting (week 9 of our production) and would not provide any benefit to voters in Waikato as the early birds would have already voted before our shows happened.
Our updated show figure is
120 2H Ward and Mayoral Debate shows
30 1H Community Board Debate shows
We will also be doing a Te Awanui Ward by-election special, next Thursday 13th March to see who will be Tauranga next Maori Ward Councilor
