Auckland mayoral candidate Efeso Collins reiterates the need for Auckland to turn out to vote after "see-sawing" polls.

A Q+A Kantar Public poll of 1000 voters found 35 percent support for Wayne Brown and 29 percent for Efeso Collins after Viv Beck withdrew from the Mayoral race last week.

Collins maintains that it's a close race, with support for Brown stemming from Beck's pull out.

The same poll conducted before her withdrawal showed Collins with a four-point lead over Brown who was then at 24 percent.
