Chief Electoral Officer Karl Le Quesne said in a statement that 400 polling places were open on Monday. "That number will increase as we head towards election day,” he said.
Voting before election day has increased in popularity, and in 2020, 68% of votes were cast in advance, Le Quesne said.

New Zealand does not use mail voting but in special circumstances some people can vote electronically.Britain has awarded BAE Systems a 4 billion pound contract as part of the AUKUS programme with Australia and the United States to build attack submarines, defence minister Grant Shapps and the company said on Sunday.
