Results from this weekend's local elections are still rolling in, with some races still too close to call.

But Auckland's Wayne Brown and Christchurch's Phil Mauger have definitely won second terms with decisive victories.

Andrew Little's the new mayor in Wellington, and Tim Macindoe's won in Hamilton.

Voters in just 17 council areas have opted to keep Māori wards, with voters in 25 opting to scrap them.

Newstalk ZB election reporter Michael Sergel says Sophie Barker is leading Dunedin's mayoral race, but this outcome could change on final results.
