The Act Party is hopeful its foray into local body elections will provide greater candidate transparency. 

Leader David Seymour is calling for expressions of interest of anyone keen to stand, saying it's time for a clean out of local councillors. 

Act isn't considering challenging the mayoralty in any parts of the country.  

Seymour told Mike Hosking it's about ensuring voters know what they're getting and how candidates are aligned. 

He says voters often don't know their candidates —or their beliefs— and end up disappointed with their councils.
