The News has been profiling prospective candidates in the lead-up to the election.

Voting closes at 6pm on Friday, October 25 - with all postal votes required to be in by Friday, November 1.

All election results will be declared by Friday, November 15.

While residents are only able to vote for candidates in their own ward, The News has reached out to a number of respected members of the community to collate their thoughts on what the perfect council would look like out of the nominated candidates.

We asked them to ‘draft’ their number one seed in each of the seven remaining wards that are yet to be declared — with Rod Schubert and Sam Spinks already elected unopposed for Midland and Poplar wards, respectively.

Look out for the results of the draft in The News on Friday, October 11.
