2008 Council Elections Guide

2008 will see local government elections on both sides of the NSW-Victoria border. Albury voters will have to choose nine new councillors by postal vote in September, and Wodonga voters will elect seven individuals in November.

A guide to how to fill in the ballot paper can be found here. It’s not like the Senate at all, voting below the line is easy.

A listing of the key election dates can be found here.

A map of polling places can be found here.

This guide will offer all the information I’ve been able to dig up about the people running for election in Albury and Wodonga.

There are bound to be errors. Don’t hesitate to correct me or offer more information. My phone number is 0430509913 and my email address is kieranbennett@gmail.com
