People a Plenty at Prepoll

Prepoll is in full swing at the moment with over a thousand people passing through the Lake Macquarie prepoll booth at Warners Bay today.

It was a great opportunity to meet a lot of locals in a very short amount of time. The general feeling of the candidates that have done this sort of thing before was that 'they've never seen anything like it!'.

The general chat from the voters was that there had been so little media coverage of the local election that they had already well and truly planned their weekend and voting wasn't factored in to it.

The queue was out the door several times during the day and the afterwork rush saw the line well and truly into the carpark.

Prepoll is open from 8.00 am-5pm for the rest of the week and till 6pm on Friday, if you're like a lot of the folk out there and won't be able to get to the polling booth on Saturday, prepolling is an option at 4/305 Hillsborough Rd, next to Lakeview Blinds.
