"Yesterday one of Bryce's (Wilson) volunteers was counting as people went in," said Karis Sanderson, "and said that the number was around 250 for the day." 

She added that Thursday had been quieter but they were expecting Friday to be busy.

The atmosphere was friendly as party volunteers from Nationals, Labor, Greens and Shooters Fishers and Farmers chatted in between handing out the party how-to-vote forms to voters. 

Pre-polling is available in Braidwood at the Old Library in Park Lane, 8.00am to 6.00pm Thursday and Friday.
