We talked to some of the party volunteers, including Sam White who was handing out how-to-vote leaflets for the Nationals.
"We're a big supporter of Adam Marshall and the work that he's done locally, certainly hospitals and all the work that he's done around the district," he said.
Mr White had just arrived for his shift handing out flyers, but had heard that the morning had been good.
"You'll never gauge exactly what everybody's intending, because it's a standard vote, but it's been pretty positive," he said.
Chris Preston has always been a Labor man; he'd been a union organiser in his time.
"I think Labor are more for the people," he said. "I believe we've got better ideas; I think it's time for a change, and I always say that you need a seat that's not a safe seat all the time to get funding here."
People had been taking flyers from the ALP - "but whether that's a vote or not, I don't know," Mr Preston said.
"Most people either come down and take them off you, or they've got their ideas, and they just walk straight through."
Myra Burgess was handing out leaflets for the Greens outside the polling station.
While some people just took the forms to be polite, she said, others had sought her out.
"Their popularity's slowly growing," she said.
Ms Burgess said she supported the party because "I believe in a greener future and in reducing the impacts of big business wrecking our environment, just so we've something for the future".
Wayne Mendes was handing out flyers for the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers. He said the party was getting really good numbers.
"I'm doing my little bit for the country!" he said.
He and Wayne Mendes are collecting survey forms for Save and Grow Guyra's poll to see how many residents want to leave Armidale Regional Council.
"Hundreds have put in forms since I've been here, and it's been going all morning," Mr Sweeney said.
The survey is run with the permission of the Electoral Commission, organiser Gordon Youman said earlier this week.
The forms are placed in a locked box, and will be counted by JPs tomorrow.
Messrs Sweeney and Mendes didn't know how people had voted, but said they were getting good responses for the demerger.
"People are questioning us, and saying they want to keep our council," Mr Mendes said.
"Even some Armidale people; they're not real happy with how the council's been run. We can only try!"
Inside the school, families were selling raffle tickets, fudge and baked goods to raise money to send three Guyra Central School students to America next year.
Colleen Pearson, Stephanie Cameron, and Lauren Irvine are signed up on the 2020 G'Day USA program with Educational World Travel.
The girls will stay with a family in Seattle for 10 days; and visit San Francisco and Los Angeles. This will be the first time they've gone overseas, and they're excited to go.
The G'Day USA cultural exchange program has run for 30 years,
