Non-Residential Roll Applications
Hay Shire Council, gives notice that non-residents are entitled to vote in the upcoming Local Government Election on 14 September 2024 and are entitled to be enrolled as electors, if they are owners, rate paying lessees or occupiers of rateable land in the Hay Local Government area.
Claims for enrolment as an owner, ratepaying lessee or occupier of rateable land in Hay Local Government Area must be received by the General Manager of Hay Shire Council by 6.00 pm (EST) Monday, 5 August 2024.
There are two non-residential rolls:

• the roll of non-resident owners of rateable land, and
• the roll of occupiers and rate-paying lessees.

These two rolls are combined with the residential roll to form the roll of electors for a council area, which is used during an election. The residential roll is the list of people who live in the council area and are eligible to vote in elections.
