The 2013 Auckland local elections took place between 20 September and 12 October and were conducted by postal vote.

Twenty-one district health board members and 41 licensing trust members were also elected. The previous elections were in 2010. Early (not final) voting figures are below. The overall effect of the election was a shift of the Auckland Council to the right.[1]
