AUBURN The number of people taking out nomination papers for this year’s election is lagging behind previous election cycles, so far.
As of Thursday, nine people had taken out papers to run for the 15 elected seats. All seats are up for election every two years.
According to City Clerk Sue Clements-Dallaire, at this time two years ago, some 25 people had taken out papers.
“(That’s) much different from what we’ve seen so far this year,” she said.

Local Government preparing for all contingencies for September elections
Councils are gearing up to help guarantee NSW voters have their say while staying COVID-safe in the September local government elections, Local Government NSW said this week.
LGNSW President Linda Scott said changes to State Government regulations announced on Friday (July 9) would help support those efforts, with voters able to access an online iVote option, as well as postal or in-person options.
“Resident safety remains the number one priority for councils, and I am confident we can meet this priority and still hold fair and transparent elections,” Cr Scott said.
