VOTE: Here are the candidates for your council

Nominations for council elections have closed and here are the people you can vote for on Saturday, December 4.

Richmond Valley Council has six councillor positions plus a mayor who is elected separately by the people.

With 18 nominations, your vote will count.

Here are the people you can choose from. They have formed into groups so if you choose to vote for a group rather than for individual candidates, you can.

Robert Mustow and Robert Hayes are going for the position of mayor which in Richmond Valley is elected by the people.

 

Kyogle Council has nine councillor positions and there are 12 nominations.

Kyogle is split into three wards with three councillors in each ward.

Because A Ward has only three nominations, those three people will automatically be councillors for that ward.
