Cobar Shire Council
Cobar is undivided, so a single paper elects all twelve councillors and you must number at least 6 squares. It is the heaviest ask in this list and it falls on one of the smallest electorates — about 2,800 voters spread across 45,620 square kilometres. The mayor is chosen by the councillors.

On the day: what you will be handed
One ballot paper at this council.
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.
