Owner occupiers role enrolment forms

The owners and occupiers roll (roll), is maintained by a local government’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The roll is required to include all people who have claimed a right to vote in the local government district under section 4.30 of the Local Government Act 1995 (LG Act).

As such, a person who is enrolled to vote in a State or Federal election outside a district or ward, but who owns or occupies a rateable property in a local government district or ward, may claim eligibility and be enrolled to vote in elections for that district or ward. However, there are additional requirements to be considered when assessing an enrolment claim, including requirements under the Local Government (Elections) Regulations 1997 (Election Regs).
