Owner Occupier Roll
The Owner Occupier Roll for the 31 July 2026 Election closed at 5:00 PM Thursday 04 June 2026
If you own a property or operate a business in the Shire but do not live here, you may be eligible for enrolling on the owner/occupier roll. If you would like to be added please read below.
To be eligible for this roll, a person must be:
- Registered on the state electoral roll where they live, and
- Either own or have a right of continuous occupation under a lease agreement or other legal instrument of a property within the Shire of Wandering
- The right of continuous occupation must extend for a period of at least three months.
Enrolment on the owner/occupier roll allows a person who is enrolled to vote at one address, and owns or occupies property at a different address, to vote in both areas.
Where two or more individuals jointly own or occupy a property, up to two of them may enroll, with the written agreement of a majority of the owners where there are three or more co-owners or occupiers.
Where a company or body corporate owns or occupies ratable land, up to two people can be enrolled to vote on its behalf. If the same company or body corporate owns more than one property in a ward, the body is still only entitled to have two nominated persons on the roll.
Occupiers and occupier nominees remain on the roll for a period of two elections after their enrolment is accepted and then are taken off the roll six months after the second election. They must then re-enrol if they wish to continue as electors. Owners of a rateable property remain on the roll until the property passes ownership.
The Shire encourages all business representatives and property owners to have their say by voting.
