If you own properties in several different areas, e.g. say like Luxon's 7 houses & many of our MP's, you get to vote multiple times in local government elections & vote for Board members not once but in each of the local body areas.
There's a problem with this in as much as out of community property owners can influence the local govt election outcomes & vote multiple times.
The Ratepayer roll or Property Vote was abolished by Labour in the late 1980's but reinstated by National in 1991.
