Prospective candidates who did not stand

Campaign

Brown's priority for the city was the funding and commencement of the City Rail Link, which had 63% public support in June 2009.[9]

Palino ran on a conservative policy platform, and his campaign was managed by Communities and Residents president and former National Party president John Slater.[8] He opposed the urban intensification of some Auckland communities, including those on the North Shore,[10] instead proposing a second central business district model based in Manukau.[8]

Postal ballots were sent to voters from 20 September.[11]

Opinion polling

  – Some polls were taken after voting began on 20 September.
