Nationals candidate Andrew Gee and Mr Jennings have both reported missing electoral material, with the Labor candidate finding Mudgee was the hotspot.

“My sister-in-law had a rock thrown through her front window last election, so I don't think anything's been a problem this time around,” he said.

“One person had a billboard on a farm at Borenore that had a moustache but she was able to rub it off.”

Mr Gee said in a statement there had been no reports of any issues during prepolling but posters and two billboards had to be replaced.

“We took it in our stride,” he said.

Mr Gee said people wanted economically responsible government.

“Government that won’t mortgage the future of our children and that can get its program through the Senate,” he said.

Mr Jennings, Nick Xenophon Team candidate Rod Bloomfield and The Greens’ Delanie Sky believed cost of living, health and education issues would come to the fore.

“I think a lot of people will vote for The Greens, Labor and Nick Xenophon because we're fighting for the things they want,” Ms Sky said.

“Malcolm Turnbull is telling voters to sacrifice their living standards in order to fund tax cuts for big businesses,” Mr Jennings said.

“The most consistent thing is people are deeply dissatisfied with the major parties – we've had a whisper they're voting for us but we can't gauge it,” Mr Bloomfield said.

Independent candidate Anthony Craig said the difficult campaign without party backing had been worth fighting against cuts to aged care.

“That's a significant issue for Calare because it's a big employer,” he said.
