The announcement of official candidate nominations and drawing of ballot positions at Nowra yesterday revealed seven political parties would field candidates in the Gilmore election.

Labor has endorsed Neil Reilly for the second time, while the Liberals have nominated incumbent MP Joanna Gash and Ben van der Wijngaart will again represent the Greens.

Shoalhaven councillor Bohdan Brumerskyj has returned for a second campaign as the Christian Democratic Party candidate, following his run in the 2007 federal election.

Mr Brumerskyj secured the top position on the ballot paper.

Family First will field first-time candidate Elizabeth Cunningham, who is placed third on the ballot paper below Mr van der Wijngaart.

Newcomer to the seat of Gilmore, Annette Williams, will stand for the Secular Party of Australia and is sixth on the ballot, below Mr Reilly and Mrs Gash.

Rounding out the seven, and the last name to appear on the list, is the Liberal Democratic Party's Donald Keys.

No new candidates had surfaced in Throsby and Cunningham by the time nominations closed yesterday.

In Throsby, Stephen Jones will stand for the ALP, Juliet Arkwright for the Liberals, Alan Hay will represent the National Party, Peter Moran the Greens and Wayne Hartman for the Non-custodial Parents Party.

In Cunningham, Labor MP Sharon Bird will face off against Liberal candidate Philip Clifford, Non-custodial Parents Party candidate John Flanagan, Socialist Alliance candidate Jess Moore and George Takacs from the Greens.

The Liberal Party took top spot on the ballot paper in both seats, followed by the ALP.

Mr Clifford labelled his poll position "a precursor to major change within the region".

"I keep hearing that everyone wants change," he said.

"People have had enough of a dominant Labor."

Ms Bird said she was happy with where she was sitting on the ballot paper, saying Cunningham voters were well educated on the election process and would choose the best candidate.

Cunningham, with 100,235 enrolled voters, is the third largest seat in population in NSW.
