Signs for ORC candidate Hilary Calvert appeared starting the second week of September.  Calvert previously served one-term on the ORC from 2019-22, but she did not seek re-election.  In 2013 she ran for Mayor, finishing second and winning a seat on the DCC.  From 2010-11 she served as an a ACT member of Parliament.

Even without the reflections off the glass, this sign on Princes Street could be confusing to some voters.  The ORC covers four constituencies: Dunedin, Moeraki, Dunstan and Molyneux.  Calvert is running in Dunedin constituency, which will elect five councilors (down from six).  Michael Laws and Gary Kelliher represent Dunstan constituency and Nicky Rhodes is also running in Dunstan constituency.  Carmen Hope is running in Molyneux constituency.  The Vision Otago manifesto targets "uncontrolled spending, neglected infrastructure, and a lack of transparency" by offering a "ten-point plan [that] focuses on practical, common-sense solutions to reduce the burden on ratepayers while delivering real, measurable improvements for our region."
