Who to vote for:
The Daily Advertiser has conducted a series of questions and answers with council candidates to find out where they stand on the biggest issues facing Wagga.
Fines for failure to vote:
WAGGA residents will be slapped with a $55 fine if they don't vote in Saturday's council election.
The reminder comes amid claims by candidates a "significant number" of residents did not think voting was compulsory.
More than 3,500 residents have already had their say at the ballot to elect nine councillors for the next four years.
Returning officer Marian Coombs said roughly 800 residents a day were filing through the pre-polling centre at 63 - 65 Johnson Street.
How to vote:
Voters can place the number one in the square above a group of candidates, and continue numbering above the line for as many group tickets as they wish.
Alternatively, residents choosing to vote below the line for individual candidates must number at least five boxes in order of preference and can number all 53 candidates.
Ungrouped candidates are below the line in the column furthest to the right of the ballot paper.
