2007 New Zealand Local Elections
Triennial elections for all 73 Territorial authorities of New Zealand, cities and districts, twelve Regions of New Zealand, regional councils and all district health boards (DHBs) in New Zealand were held on 13 October 2007. Most councils were elected using the first-past-the-post voting method, but eight (of which Wellington, Wellington City was the largest) were elected using single transferable vote. STV voting method The single transferable vote (STV) method was first used at the 2004 New Zealand local elections, 2004 local elections, when ten districts and city councils employed this alternative to first-past-the-post voting (FPP). Of those ten, two district councils—Papakura District, Papakura and Matamata-Piako District, Matamata-Piako—reverted to FPP. The remaining eight councils that used STV in 2007 were Kaipara District, Kaipara, Thames-Coromandel District, Thames-Coromandel, Kapiti Coast District, Kapiti Coast, Porirua City, Porirua, Wellington City, Wellington, ...

Kelvin Coe 1
The kelvin, symbol K, is the primary unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI), used alongside its prefixed forms and the degree Celsius. It is named after the Belfast-born and University of Glasgow-based engineer and physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824–1907). The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale, meaning it uses absolute zero as its null (zero) point. Historically, the Kelvin scale was developed by shifting the starting point of the much-older Celsius scale down from the melting point of water to absolute zero, and its increments still closely approximate the historic definition of a degree Celsius, but since 2019 the scale has been defined by fixing the Boltzmann constant to be exactly . Hence, one kelvin is equal to a change in the thermodynamic temperature that results in a change of thermal energy by . The temperature in degree Celsius is now defined as the temperature in kelvins minus 273.15, meaning tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2004 New Zealand Local Elections
Triennial elections for all 74 cities, districts, twelve regional councils and all district health boards in New Zealand were held on 9 October 2004. Most councils were elected using the first-past-the-post method, but ten (of which Wellington City was the largest) were elected using the single transferable vote (STV) method. It was the first time that the STV method was available; the change came through successful lobbying by Rod Donald. District health board elections Elections for the 21 district health boards (DHBs) were first held alongside the 2001 local elections. The government had hoped to use the STV voting method from the start but this could not be achieved and in 2001, first-past-the-post voting (FPP) was used based on local wards. For the 2004 elections, the STV method was used. From 2004 onwards, DHB candidates have been elected at large (i.e. across the whole voting area). STV voting method Apart from the district health boards, ten district or city councils ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
