Idea is to start with incumbents and add opponents and bundle nearer to election day.
Has any listed incumbent announced they will not be seeking re-election next year?
Draft wording:
Celia Wade-Brown to be elected Mayor of Wellington
This contract pays $1 if Celia Wade-Brown is elected Mayor of Wellington in the next local body elections.
This closes will immediately close at $0 if Ms Wade-Brown definitively announces she will not be a candidate for the Wellington mayoralty at the next local body elections.
Closes at $0 if Ms Wade-Brown departs from the Wellington mayoralty for any reason prior to the end of this term and does not definitively indicate she will be a candidate for Mayor of Wellington in the next local body elections within 48 hours of the announcement of her departure.
In the event the Wellington City Council amalgamates with one or more other city councils, this contract will follow the amalgamated body. If Wellington City Council is re-named this contract will follow the re-named body.
For the purposes of this contract, “next local body elections” refers to the first local body election which decides the Wellington mayoralty which occurs after the launch of this contract.
