NSW Electoral Commissioner John Schmidt said voters requiring assistance at voting centres should approach election officials for help.
"Accessibility information about each voting centre is available on our website or by calling our elector enquiry centre on 1300 135 736," he said.
Democracy Sausage
Some booths with food in Goulburn and the greater electorate include:
Goulburn West Public School on Elizabeth Street, which will be hosting a P&C-run sausage sizzle, plus cold drinks and sweet treats. Vote #1, Goulburn West!
Goulburn East Public School on Eleanor Street will also be hosting a sausage sizzle and cake stall, so there's breakfast, lunch and morning tea sorted for you!
The Country Women's Association (CWA) day branch of Tarago will have a cake stall at Tarago Town Hall on Wallace Street, with "lots of yummy home-made goods".
If you're heading into Canberra, Collector Memorial Hall on Bourke Street (Collector) will be having a market day, raising funds for the Collector Community Association. Browse stalls with olive oil, wine, honey, preserves, fruit and veg, Devonshire tea, home-spun and homemade garments, art and crafts. Indulge with a sausage sizzle, bacon and egg burgers, vegetarian options, cakes and coffee. And, uh, don't forget to vote.
Or, if you're up the Hume to Sydney, stop by Wingello Public School on Murrimba Road, which is still in the Goulburn electorate and will have a cake stall and sausage sizzle hosted by the P&C to raise funds to update the playground for the children. Nice!
