Voting in the byelection for the Northland Regional Council s Whangārei Urban seat will start on January 26, which is when voting papers are sent out.
The byelection - expected to cost around $80,000 - was called after the seat was left vacant by the resignation of former Northland Regional Councillor John Bain late last year.
