Tracking Council Votes.
Increasing Local Transparency.

OpenMDC tracks and lists voting records for the mayor and Marlborough District councillors. Elected members are openly invited to voluntarily submit their voting records; otherwise, records are compiled directly from public meetings and published minutes. This provides a straightforward reference for residents wishing to see where councillors stand on key issues.

Alongside recorded votes, the platform highlights major public consultations, making it easier for residents to find where and how to lodge submissions on key regional issues.

Tracking votes and major consultations

OpenMDC collates recorded votes from Marlborough District Council meetings into a single index. It saves residents from searching through separate meeting documents to see how councillors voted, while pointing directly to major consultation topics so people can have their say.

Sourced directly from public records - with an open invitation for the mayor and elected councillors to volunteer their voting information - the site is maintained as an independent, non-commercial community tool under Goodwin & Associates Limited.
