Council elections may not the be most exciting but don't be like me a few years ago and forget they're on until after all the polling booths close...

Do they have demosages (forgive me) for these elections on polling day? It's the only time I ever eat a sausage sandwich these days. Don't wanna miss out.

Probably less likely than a federal election but I'd still give it decent odds of finding one (particularly if the school is trying to raise funds for something). I can't remember exactly whether this was during council or state elections but I have turned up to vote before and not found a sausage sizzle.

You guys turn up to vote in Local Gov elections? I think most of ours are postal. I wonder if that means NSW turnout is better?

[–] Tau@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Yep, like in other elections we do have pre poll and postal voting (with a valid reason and you need to apply for postal) but the standard method is turning up on the day. I'm not sure if that has any effect on turnout compared to other states.
