Postal problems impact on school elections

The School Trustees Association says reduced deliveries by New Zealand Post had a significant impact on the recent Board of Trustee elections. 57 per cent of schools around the country have just held elections to fill positions on boards. Last year, in response to dropping mail volume, NZ Post cut deliveries to three days a week. The School Trustees Association says it received complaints from some parents and returning officers about voting papers not being delivered, or only one set of papers arriving in a two-parent house.
