RESIDENTS of Mansfield Shire have choices to make, after nominations and the ballot draw for candidates in the 2020 council election were finalised yesterday (September 22).

The nominees, in ballot order, are: Harry Westendorp Paul Sladdin Ross James Martin James Tehan Mark Holcombe Robert Graves Des Dunn Joh Barker Steve Rabie Rohan Webb Kammy Cordner Hunt Pam Zierk-Mahoney Michael Wahren Lynn Elder Ballot packs will be posted to all enrolled voters between Tuesday, October 6 and Thursday, October 8, and votes must be in the mail or hand delivered to their election office before 6pm on Friday, October 23.
