Question No. 1 (Status: Result Declared)
Currently, Walcha council is divided into 4 Wards. 2 Councillors are elected from each Ward by the electors enrolled in that Ward. Candidates must be enrolled in the council area but not necessarily in the Ward they are nominating as a candidate. Elections are only held if more than 2 nominations are received in each Ward. Do you favour Walcha Council abolishing Wards so that all electors vote for all Eight (8) Councillors?
