Candidate for the Christian Democratic Party Glen Ryan was manning a polling booth, while his wife was at the Masonic Centre doing the same.

The Rise Up Australia party had vocal volunteers renouncing same sex marriage and the dissolution of Australian values.
The President of the Moree Pistol Club was out volunteering for the Shooters, Fisher and Farmers Party keen to “protect her sport”.
Many of the gentlemen handing out how to vote cards for the Nationals had been a member for the party for 50 years or more.
Voting also occurred in each of the villages today.
