The Greens frogs, Liberal Lollipops, One Nation Nougat and Kate's Caramello Koalas will be available to buy alongside home-baked cakes and slices, coffee and a democracy sausage at the Medowie school on Saturday when it turns into a state election polling booth.
"We've been doing a punny lolly stall since about 2018 and every election, it's always a big hit and well supported," P&C president Rachael Vaughan said.
"It's a play on the classic democracy sausage. We've been able to raise a lot of money for the school through our punny election day lolly stall."
Money raised during the March 25 election stall will be used to supplement a grant state government the P&C received to have an interactive playground installed at the Medowie primary school.
Medowie Lions are on board again to cook the democracy sausages, donating all money from sales back to the school.
Twenty-six polling booths will be open across Port Stephens from 8am to 6pm on Saturday, March 25.
