Whanganui's female election candidates are urging people to exercise their hard-won right.
Labour candidate Steph Lewis was among the many who chose to vote on Tuesday to mark the 124th anniversary of a women's right to vote being made law in New Zealand.
With three of five Whanganui woman, and two front runners, the electorate is virtually guaranteed to have just its second female MP ever after this weekend's election.
"This election here in Whanganui is going to be historic and it's a really, really cool process to have been a part of," Ms Lewis said.
She voted yesterday to encourage others to get it done.
