NSWALC CEO James Christian encouraged the 17,000 eligible voting members to cast their vote and make their mark.
"It's exciting for the candidates, it's exciting for the members, it's important for the community that we participate and use our democratic right to elect who represents us at the state level for the NSW Aboriginal Land Council," Mr Christian said.
There are nine regions across NSW.
The councillors chosen for each region will help set the strategic direction of NSWALC and make decisions on issues affecting Aboriginal people.
"It is Australia's largest Aboriginal representative body, it advocates strongly for the interests and rights of Aboriginal people across a broad range of issues. These roles as councillors aren't easy roles, they're full time," Mr Christian said.
"We have over many years had people representing us on the council who've been of the highest calibre."
Voting in the NSWALC elections is voluntary. The enrollments for the election closed on September 9.
"In this upcoming election on Saturday there are 17,000 eligible individual members, that's up from the previous election four years ago," Mr Christian said.
"We have tried to make it as easy as possible for people to vote because we know they're busy. If they've got postal votes they can still cast those postal votes but they can also turn up at one of the 160 polling booths we have set up on Saturday, November 30."
Postal votes must be received by the NSW Electoral Commission by Wednesday, December 4.
More information on submitting a postal vote is available on the NSW Electoral Commission website.
The results for the nine regions are expected to be declared on December 6.
