View a detailed report of the 2025 Kaipara local elections final results (Kaipara District Council webpage, PDF).
Please note: Any applications for a vote recount must now be made by midnight Wednesday 22 October. The inaugural council meeting must be notified seven days in advance, but only after the recount application period has ended, or, if a recount proceeds, once that process is complete. The recount application period is three working days, through to midnight Wednesday 22 October. Until that time has passed, the inauguration date is still to be finalised.
The other possible dates for the swearing in ceremony and inaugural council meeting are:
- Wednesday 5 November (if a recount application is dismissed or the process is completed quickly)
- Wednesday 12 November (if a recount proceeds and takes longer).
