What more can you do?
Tomorrow, ballots will begin arriving in letterboxes around Wodonga.
In the course of this campaign so far:
500 impressions have been recorded on our Facebook adverts.
400 people have taken a leaflet from myself or Dennis whilst we’ve been in High St.
1650 views have been recorded on this website.
2500 people have received one of our “Act Now on Climate Change” post cards in their letterbox.
Thousands have seen us in the paper and on TV.
10 000 people have recieved one of our tri-fold leaflets in their letterbox.
And despite their late arrival, (I can recommend a printing company not to use!), our large corflute posters are now going up around town.
In just over a week, most people in Wodonga will have completed their ballot paper (stats show most people vote when they receive the vote, a few wait until the last minute, and a significant minority simply “forget”).
It’s been a long campaign, there’s another solid weeks work ahead of us, then the waiting begins. Hopefully by this time in December, we’ll be pushing our vision of action on climate change, social justice, and greater democracy, in Wodonga City council.

There’s really not much else you can do. Congratulations on a very professional campaign.
From a campaign point of view, it’s a bit of a pity that we don’t have an attendance election, it gives you something to build up towards. Postal votes always feel a bit anti-climatic!
The positive is at least you don’t have to organize someone at each polling booth. Although it does get rid of the last minute chance to talk to voters.
You’re right, Kieran, “what more can you do”?
A lot of candidates don’t seem to realise that by the end of this week the majority of votes will already have been cast. Your decision to start campaigning BEFORE nominations opened was a wise one, given the incredibly short period of time between nominations closing and ballot papers arriving.
Over here NOBODY started campaigning until after nominations closed. Well, Ray Dyer excepted. As for me, well, until 28 October I wasn’t going to run.
Good luck mate

On that theme, I just received an invitation from the Chamber of Commerce to attend a breakfast on the 20th.
For all campaigning purposes the election will be over by then, but I’ll go along anyway. I thought the ratepayers association was pushing it late by having their forum on the 13th.
Oh well.
