Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use New Zealand English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox election The 2013 Dunedin mayoral election was held on Saturday, 12 October 2013 and was conducted under the single transferable voting system. Dave Cull, Dunedin's 57th mayor, was re-elected after seeing off eight challengers.

Candidates

First-term incumbent Dave Cull was the first to enter the contest, announcing his candidature in January 2013.[1] He faced eight challengers, including one sitting councillor and one former Member of Parliament.[2]

Councillor Lee Vandervis, who placed third in the previous local body elections,[3] announced on 21 May that he would contest his fourth mayoralty; he had stood in every mayoral election since 2004.[4] Aside from Cull, Vandervis was the only current councillor seeking the mayoralty.

For the first time, the Green Party stood a candidate for the Dunedin mayoralty. Although former mayor Sukhi Turner was a member of the Green Party, she did not run for mayor on the party ticket.[5] Broadcaster Aaron Hawkins was confirmed by the Green Party on 24 May as their candidate.[6] Hawkins contested the 2010 mayoralty as an independent, when he came fourth.[3]

Former ACT Member of Parliament Hilary Calvert declared her candidacy, as an independent.[7] She also contested a seat on the City Council. Former United Future candidate and blogger Pete George also declared an independent bid for the mayoralty.[2]

The other mayoral candidates were two 2010 mayoral hopefuls Olivier Lequeux and Kevin Dwyer, as well as Steve McGregor and Andrew Whiley.

Results

Cull was re-elected, beating Calvert and Vandervis to second and third place.[8] Both Calvert and Vandervis were elected to Council, as were fourth-placed Aaron Hawkins and fifth-placed Andrew Whiley.[9][10]
