Enrolling to Vote
To be eligible to vote in local government elections, you need to be either a resident, an eligible non-resident owner or non-resident occupier of rateable property in the local government district or a nominee of a body corporate that owns or occupies rateable property in the district or ward. You must also be correctly enrolled to vote in State or Commonwealth elections and be at least 18 years of age on election day.
Residents
A person who lives at an address in a local government ward or district and is correctly enrolled on the State roll for that address is a resident of the district and automatically enrolled to vote.
To check that your enrolment is up to date, contact the Western Australian Electoral Commission or phone 13 63 06.
Non-residents
Non-resident owners and non-resident occupiers of rateable property are not automatically enrolled. Non-residents who wish to vote in local government elections or Corporate bodies who wish to nominate people as nominees should apply to the Chief Executive Officer of the Shire.
Nominees of a body corporate
A body corporate that owns or leases property in a local government district or ward may nominate as electors two people who do not reside in that district or ward and are eligible to vote in State or Commonwealth elections in respect of their residential address.
Please complete the Eligibility to Vote form and return to the Shire via email to amrsc@amrsc.wa.gov.au or post.
