With less than a week to vote, Hamilton's voter turnout is still far behind that of other councils in the Waikato region.
As of Monday, only 12.4 per cent (13,675 people) of the 110,183 registered voters in Hamilton have had their say, which means the city has the lowest voter turnout in the region.
Voters enrolled in the city's East ward have returned the most votes with 13.7 per cent of the 52,269 enrolled having had their say, while the West ward returned 12.6 per cent of the 44,667 enrolled.
Of the 13,247 enrolled in the Kirikiriroa Maaori ward, only 875 people voted (6.6 per cent).
The Waikato's highest voter turnout was in Otorohanga with 24.35 per cent, followed closely by Ruapehu with 24.28 per cent.
