Local Government Extraordinary Election - Close of Enrolments

You are automatically enrolled to vote if you are on the State Electoral Roll as at 5:00 PM Thursday, 14 July 2022. If you are not already on the State Electoral Roll and meet the eligibility criteria, or if you have changed address recently, you must complete an enrolment form.

You can enrol or update your details online, or download an enrolment form, via the Western Australian Electoral Commission website (www.elections.wa.gov.au/enrol). Forms are also available from the Australian Electoral Commission (www.aec.gov.au). Enrolments and updates must be completed and received by 5:00 PM Thursday, 14 July 2022.

If you are a non-resident owner or occupier of rateable property in the City of Wanneroo and are on the State or Commonwealth Electoral Roll, you are eligible to enrol to vote. If you are not on the State or Commonwealth Electoral Roll and own or occupy rateable property in City of Wanneroo you may be eligible to enrol to vote. This applies if you were on the last electoral roll for the City of Wanneroo prior to May 1996 and have owned or occupied rateable property in the district continuously since this time. Please contact your local government for details. Owners of land who were on the last Local Government roll continue to retain that status until they cease to own the rateable property to which the enrolment relates. Occupiers do not have continuous enrolment and should contact the City of Wanneroo to confirm their enrolment status. To be eligible to enrol as an occupier, you will need to have a right of continuous occupation under a lease, tenancy agreement or other legal instrument for at least the next three months following the date of the application to enrol.

If a rateable property is owned or occupied by more than two people, a majority of the owners/occupiers may nominate two persons from amongst themselves who are on either the State or Commonwealth Electoral Roll, to enrol as owner/occupier electors.

A body corporate that owns or occupies rateable property may nominate two people who are on either the State or Commonwealth Electoral Roll to enrol as owner/occupier electors.

Enrolment forms can be obtained from the City of Wanneroo and must be lodged with the Chief Executive Officer by 5:00 PM Thursday, 14 July 2022. Further information can be obtained from the City of Wanneroo.
