People &
GENERAL UPDATE:
Culture
• Extended timeframe for getting information through to payroll. The pay run approval is tomorrow.
• Progressing employment relations matters. We have 15 open cases. Few more cases came up after
Election Weekend but working through them as well.
Data &
• Due to issues with use of the reconciliation app, daily data in EMS for vote and enrolment counts is
Insights
unreliable. This means any data or insights that splits vote/enrolment counts by day should not be
made public (other than what already has) and will be of limited use for planning/estimate
purposes in 2026, more so in some electorates than others. Many counts for advance voting days
(particularly SV and enrolments) were not entered. ED counts are taken from the preliminary
results and need to be updated to official results to account for voting places that didn’t get results
in on election night (thus, making ED counts accurate for Overseas Votes).

Severe Weather Outlook
A weak ridge of high pressure predominates
over central parts of the country from tomorrow
through to Sunday, while a low to the north
moves southeast and passes close to the
northeastern North Island on Saturday.
This low is likely to bring a period of easterly
rain to the northern North Island during Friday
and Saturday. There is low confidence that this
rainfall may reach warning criteria about
Northland, northern Auckland, and Coromandel
Peninsula.
Prepared by the NEMA Monitoring, Alerting and Reporting Centre to provide awareness that supports informed decision making.
