Council elections may not the be most exciting but don't be like me a few years ago and forget they're on until after all the polling booths close...

My electorate has all independents. ie they are all scared as shit to align with any party.

Also, they set up a 'group' so they get to have an above the line vote. Every one of these has one male and one female.

The information available about most of these candidates is feeble.

It's fucking embarrassing.

Is this because the Liberals failed to actually register their picks?

Not sure. It's not uncommon for no Libs or Labs in some electorates....
