Hi Clare, Oh yes, that would be tough with two wee ones. Lucky you, sounds like a great age gap. I have a three year old daughter, turning four in October, and I'm starting to get panicked about too-large an age gap although not panicked enough to do anything serious about it! Thanks for the good wishes. Let's hope we see some positive change in that beautiful country of ours. Cheers Lizzie

Hi Clare, Good on you! We also heard it's been much busier this year and the stats for advance voting show more than double the number of advance votes as in 2011. If you're interested, we're hosting an Election Breakfast on Saturday morning (Sept 20th) to watch the election results come in live. Tickets and info at: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/e/865517 Cheers Lizzie

Hi Clarebells, Great to hear back from you. I couldn't believe that only 1% of kiwis living overseas voted in 2011. The stats look higher already this time so hopefully people do their democratic duty! Best wishes Lizzie

Hello fellow Kiwis! The New Zealand election is just one week away and we're determined to make sure every overseas-based Kiwi has their voice heard. This year, voting is easier than ever. You can visit the NZ High Commission at Trafalgar Square to vote in person, or download your voting papers and send them back to NZ by digital upload or fax. All you need is a smartphone and printer. If you would like more information, we've set up a dedicate website at www.votefornz.com to guide you through the process. In recent elections, international votes have changed the make-up of parliament and with this election likely to be extremely close it's important you have your voice heard. It only takes ten minutes to vote but it lasts three years! Happy voting!
