Carrathool has two wards, each electing five of the shire’s ten councillors, so your ward paper asks for at least 3 numbers — more than a Sydney ward of three, in a shire of fewer than two thousand voters spread over 18,940 square kilometres. The mayor is chosen by the councillors.
- 2 wards, 5 councillors each
- 10 councillors
- Number at least 3 of 5

On the day: what you will be handed
One ballot paper at this council.
Paper 1 of 1
Councillor
Number at least 3 squares, 1–3 — half the 5 councillors this ballot elects, rounded up. You may number more.
Proportional representation — a candidate is elected on reaching the quota.
Ballot shape: Not settled until nominations close. A ballot only gets a line and group squares when more than one group asks for one, so it is settled at the close of nominations and not before. We will draw the real paper here as soon as the Commission publishes it.
Before election day
Check you are enrolled
Voting is compulsory. Enrolment and your polling place are with the NSW Electoral Commission.
Know your minimum
Your councillor vote is formal once you have numbered 3 squares — half the 5 that ballot elects, rounded up.
There is no mayoral paper here
The 10 councillors you elect will choose one of their own as mayor for two years at a time.
The council itself
