During the campaign, candidates have been talking to voters about what they consider the issues to be.
Saturday's state election comes just six months after independent Joe McGirr was elected, bringing to an end the Liberal party's six-decade hold on the seat.
Dr McGirr told The Daily Advertiser people had been concerned about community safety, the cost of living and "wanting to grow our community, but doing it in a way that's right for us".
"And making sure that the hospitals, health services and education are there to support growing our population," he said.
The Nationals' Mackenna Powell said crime was a big issue in the area.
"I understand it's not just about more police. It's about engaging with our youth and transitioning people in employment," she said.
Country Labor's Dan Hayes said people were talking about "regional NSW missing out for eight years".
"They want their fair share. They're not asking for any more than that," he said.
"People want to be looked after with health and education out in regional NSW. That's the number one issue."
Seb McDonagh, the Shooters, Fishers, Farmers candidate said he had encountered a lot of different issues during his campaign.
"There has been things such as crime, nurse-to-patio ratios in health, aged care, domestic violence - a whole range of things," he said.
Mr McDonagh said candidates had also encountered some "voter fatigue", with Wagga voters having to go back to the polls just six months after the byelection.
"So we've been trying to get voters to engage with the process," he said.
The Green's Ray Goodlass said voters had most frequently wanted to engage with him about NSW taking action on climate change.
"Voters are realising the federal government isn't really taking any real action," he said.
Australia Conservatives' candidate Colin Taggart said the biggest issues for him during the campaign have been unfunded population growth and crime.
