* The Electoral Commission website says that in an election for councillors, candidates are entitled to form a group to appear on the ballot paper. Where eligible, a group may also request a group voting square to be printed on the ballot paper allowing electors to vote ‘above the line’ for all the candidates who appear in that group.
For details on candidates go to the Elections NSW website, and follow the prompts.
