A reminder for Aucklanders to cast their vote, as the race for the mayoralty closes in.

A Ratepayers' Alliance-Curia poll shows centre-right candidate Wayne Brown in the lead at 28 percent - up eight points.

Efeso Collins, who has the support of Labour and the Greens, is up four points but falling slightly behind at 26 percent.

Viv Beck withdrew from the race during the polling period, but still has 10 percent.

Brown told Kate Hawkesby he and Collins are offering voters a clear choice.

“This year we’ve got a real choice of someone who wants to spend more and someone who wants to spend less.”
