No polling booths in outlying areas, says Greens man

Residents of Patonga, Pearl Beach and Woy Woy Bay who will have no local polling booth this year should consider pre-polling for the Federal election, according to a Central Coast Greens campaigner.

Greens campaign member Mr Terry Jones said the previous polling booths of Patonga, Pearl Beach and Woy Woy Bay did not appear on the Australian Electoral Commission website.

Mr Jones also said that the booth for MacMasters Beach was also missing but that booth already had an irregular history.

According to Mr Jones, the loss of these polling booths is not common knowledge and he advised that prepoll, starting on June 14, would be a viable alternative for residents now without a local polling booth.
