Concern in Tauranga about the city election's low voter turnout.

Olympic rower Mahe Drysdale has an almost 6000 vote lead in the mayoral race, with just the specials left to count.

Voter turnout's shaping up to be one of the city's lowest in a decade, with around 30 percent of residents casting their vote.

Tauranga Business Chamber chief executive Matt Cowley told Ryan Bridge the process is struggling to engage people.

“Raises questions around is this really the full democracy that our so-called community has wanted.”
