Question time for Northland candidates

All the candidates standing in the three Northland electorates - Northland, Whangarei and Te Tai Tokerau - are now known.

There are 10 candidates for Whangarei; nine for Northland and four for Te Tai Tokerau and, as part of the newspaper's Election 2014 coverage, we will be quizzing the candidates on your behalf.

The Advocate will be sending candidates a list of questions to answer and their responses will be published in the paper and on www.northernadvocate.co.nz.

We have a series of questions of our own to ask, but we also want to give the public the chance to put questions to the candidates.

So send your questions to elections@northernadvocate.co.nz and we will add them to the mix.

Also, tell us about Meet the Candidates election debates happening, and we will publicise those also.
