Four candidates have so far put their hands up to represent the Eildon electorate ahead of the State Election.
The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) officially started accepting nominations from aspiring parliamentary representatives on 31 October, in the lead-up to the polls on 24 November.
“Prospective candidates for registered political parties have until 8 November to register and independent candidates have until 9 November,” Murrindindi Shire Council Mayor Sandice McAulay said.
“In the meantime, Council and UGFM have teamed up to invite the four declared candidates to public meetings so they can answer your questions and talk about what they plan to do if elected.”
Labor candidate Sally Brennan, Greens candidate Ken Deacon, Independent candidate Michelle Dunscombe and Liberal candidate Cindy McLeish will be at Alexandra Shire Hall on 13 November and Ellimatta Youth in Kinglake on 20 November to meet the community.
“If you can’t make it along to one of the events, UGFM will be broadcasting the sessions live across the Shire,” Ms McAulay said.
“Listeners are encouraged to get involved from home via www.slido.com, where you can post questions to candidates live or in advance of the sessions.
“Enter the event code stateelection with no spaces and press ‘join’.
“When submitting a question please remember to include your name and whether your question is for a specific candidate or to all candidates.”
