Nominations have closed for the two Western Bay of Plenty District Council byelections, with six candidates confirmed for the two vacant seats.
Those in the running for the Ōmokoroa Community Board seat are Chris Dever, Steven Ling and Murray Marshall.
Standing for the Maketu-Te Puke councillor seat are Bernard Holmes, Laura Rae and Anthony Wi Hapi.
The Ōmokoroa Community Board seat became vacant following the resignation of Greig Neilson in April.
A byelection was called for the Maketu–Te Puke councillor seat after the sudden passing of councillor Richard Crawford in March.
