More than 14,000 Dunedin voters are still not enrolled - with less than three weeks to go before the general election.
Statistics from the Electoral Commission show the majority of those not enrolled are aged 18 to 24.
And with time running out, a range of initiatives are being set up to register remaining Dunedin residents.

The country's general election is only a few weeks away.
And candidates for Dunedin North and Dunedin South are locked in and vying for votes.
So our Word on the Street team visited the central city to find out if locals have decided which party they're voting for.
