A local election begins today in Auckland, though you're probably not even aware.

364,000 Auckland households and businesses can vote this month for the trust board that runs Entrust.

If this name sounds familiar to Aucklanders, it’s because the majority shareholder of Vector dishes out $350 payments to eligible electricity account holders every year.

Yet very few of us actually vote in these elections, with voter turnout hitting single digits in 2021.

Today on The Front Page, Herald senior writer Simon Wilson is with us to discuss why you should be paying attention.

Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.

Host: Chelsea Daniels
Sound Engineer: Paddy Fox
Producer: Ethan Sills
