The Western Plains has cast almost 5000 votes in council elections as NSW enters a final day of pre-polling before election day tomorrow.

Early voting centres will remain open until the evening-late afternoon today, although times may vary between locations.

Residents can find their nearest voting station via the NSW Electoral Commission's (NSWEC) address lookup tool.

“On election day, about 2,100 polling places will be open across NSW from 8am to 6pm. The address look-up tool will tell you the polling place nearest to you,” Acting NSW Electoral Commissioner Dr Matthew Phillips said.

"Multilingual election officials will be present at many polling places, wearing badges to indicate the language they speak or voters can call TIS National on 131 450 and ask them to call us on 1300 135 736.

"Auslan interpreters will also be available on election day by contacting the Electoral Commission through Skype on NSWelections Auslan or NSWelections Auslan2."

To be counted, postal votes must be completed by 6pm on election day and received by the NSW Electoral Commission no later than 6pm on Friday, 27 September. 

Western Plains shire received 2438 postal vote applications, with 491 scrutinised according last night's update at 10pm from the NSWEC.

Warrumbungle and Cobar Shires will not hold an election due to an equal number of accepted candidates to seats up for election, meaning they do not have pre-poll voting.

The same goes for Warren Shire wards A, B and D.

Lachlan Shire wards A, B and D also won't hold a contest, while Ward E will go to a by-election since there were not enough candidates accepted to fill both its two seats.

Postal applications opened before candidates nominations closed, which is why they appear in the Commission's statistics even with shires that won't go to an election.
