The 2024 New South Wales council elections are happening today. Don't forget to vote, and get a Democracy Sausage at the exit!

Notably, this election will be affected by an administrative bungle by the RWNJ Liberal Party of NSW. 140 candidates for 16 councils failed to get their paperwork submitted in time so aren't on the ballot.

Also notable, the ballot this year has approximately 120 conspiracy-theory nutjobs, anti-lockdown nutjobs, COVID-denial nutjobs. It's an extraordinarily high number of "fringe" candidates.

Vote-counting will begin at 7:00 tonight, with results for most seats to be announced tonight. Postal votes and seats that are so close they'll require a recount could take a fortnight or more.
