With the Kiama state electorate headed to the polls on 13 September for a by-election following Gareth Ward's resignation, local candidates and political parties are working overtime to secure your vote.

We want to know who you will be voting for in the by-election.

Greens candidate, Dr Tonia Gray, was the lucky winner of Friday’s ballot draw - she will be the first name on the list followed by the Liberal Party’s Serena Copley.

Labor nominee Katelin McInerney was drawn down at the bottom in the 13th spot, one behind Community Independent candidate Kate Dezarnaulds.

McInerney, Copley, Gray and Dezarnaulds are considered the main chances of winning the seat that was left vacant by former independent MP Gareth Ward’s resignation following his conviction for sexual assault offences.

There are five independent candidates as well as representatives from Legalise Cannabis Party, Libertarian Party, Sustainable Australia, Animal Justice Party and the Shoorters, Fishers, Farmers.

The ballot is:

1 Tonia Gray (Greens)

2 Serena Copley (Liberals)

3 Andrew Thaler (Independent)

4 Roger Woodward (Independent)

5 Don Fuggle (Legalise Cannabis Party)

6 Ken Davis (Sustainable Australia)

7 Lisa Cotton (Independent)

8 Cyrille Jeufo Keuheu (Indpendent)

9 Felix Nelson (Shooters, Fishers, Farmers)

10 Joshua Beer (Libertarian Party)

11 Ellie Robertson (Animal Justice Party)

12 Kate Dezarnaulds (Independent)
