Eligible shire residents can now head in to cast their vote between 9am and 5pm Monday to Saturday until Friday, December 3.
With 13 candidates as well as the first group standing for council - at least as far as your correspondent is aware of - the Champion Post has fielded a number of requests for instructions on how to vote.
The simple answer is that the group does not change how you vote.
The Champion Post dropped into the pre-polling stations to check the instructions for voting, and the team there is more than happy to help.
Voters are asked to place the numbers 1 to 5 in the squares next to the top five candidates in order of your preferences for them.
Since there is only one group that has registered for this election, they don't have a separate box.
Their names appear as a list on the ballot paper, on the left side, where the ungrouped candidates appear on the right.
You can include as many or as few group candidates in your list as you prefer.
If you wish to vote for more than five candidates, place consecutive numbers from 6 onwards in the order of your preference.
Parkes shire will be represented by 10 councillors.
