Election day in Seymour

Civic duty: Janice Kemp voted at Avenel Primary School with granddaughter Faith Anderson. “It’s only her second time voting,” Mrs Kemp said of her granddaughter.
Choice made: Harvey Woodland voted at Avenel Primary School. “I’m going for Cleeland. She’s most likely to serve the local community best, I think,” he said.
Family outing: Natasha and Brendan Wilson with kids Isla, Judd, Peyton and Miller. “We were busy gardening and then we were like, ‘we’ve got to vote!’” Natasha said. “I think I’m happy with what we’ve got in place. I don’t think it’s been easy for for anyone running a state through a pandemic,” Brendan said.
Fundraiser: Christ Church Seymour parish priest Richard Pennington and Jen Fitzpatrick organised a sausage sizzle and trading table to raise funds for the Anglican church.
Tasty treats: Anne Foote, Mary Greenshiedds and Anne Foster at the trading table.
Done and dusted: Shayne Lynch’s mind was made up. “I know who I like to vote for,” he said.
Taking time to vote: Ehsan and Ameena, from Melbourne, voted while holidaying in Seymour.
Hoping for change: Melissa King from Trawool with Avenel’s Karla Wintle and Matilda, 9. “Hopefully it’s a bit of a change in the right direction,” Ms King said.
All the same: Bary Ulrich was unimpressed. “There’s not much to vote on,” he said. “If you really analyse it, they are both saying the same thing.”
