Create a dedicated Election 2025 hub page and add it to the main navigation. At the top, display six clickable cards—Mayor, Onepoto Ward, Porirua Ward, GWRC, Pauatahanui Ward, Hutt Mana Charitable Trust—each pointing to its own child category archive. Assign all election stories to the parent category plus the single relevant child. Use a Categories widget with “Show hierarchy” enabled in the sidebar so readers can jump wards from any article. Build a reusable block pattern for candidate profiles: hero image, two-column bio, three headline policies, contact links. Publish every profile with that pattern to keep design uniform and production fast. Tag stories with candidate names and key issues (housing, rates, transport) to power quick filters and future data stories. Add a narrow home-page banner linking to the hub for public visibility. After results are declared on 17 October, relabel the hub “Election 2025 Results” and leave the structure intact for permanent archival reference.
