Auckland West By-election Polling in the Auckland West by-election takes place on Saturday, May 18. From the closing of the polls and until the final results are known, the following stations will broadcast progress reports as they become available: 1Y A, 2YA, 3YA, 4YA, 2YH, 2YN, 3ZR and 4YZ. The 1YA _ concert programme from 8.0 to 9.0 p.m. will be transferred to 1YX so that the main stations will be free to give the election results. The other stations will broadcast the reports as they become available. Station 4YA, re-broadcast by 4YZ, will be presenting a relay of a celebrity concert from the Dunedin Town Hall. Whatever progress reports are available, or the final result, if received, will be broadcast from these stations during the interval at the Town Hall. In any case, 4YO will keep listeners fully informed of the progress of the polling, and listeners in the Dunedin and Invercargill areas can pick up their information from this station or from 3YA or 2YA
