Non-residential roll

If you are not a resident, you may be entitled to vote if you own, occupy or lease property in the Tenterfield Shire Council Local Government Area (LGA) as a corporation, business or individual. You will have to be registered on Tenterfield Shire Council’s non-residential roll. You may only cast one vote within a council area, irrespective of the number of properties or parcels of land you own. Registration is not compulsory.

A non-residential roll is only valid for the council election it is prepared for, so you must re-enrol for every election. If you were on the non-residential roll previously and you are still eligible to be on that roll, you should re-apply to be included on the new roll. Read more about the non-residential roll on the NSW Electoral Commission website.

You need to fill out  Non Residential Roll Form if you are:

• an owner of rateable land in the Tenterfield Shire Council  LGA, or
• an occupier or rate-paying lessee of rateable land in the Tenterfield Shire Council LGA.

If you own, occupy or lease the property with other people, you must nominate who will be voting on behalf of everyone on this form.

Registration for inclusion on the non-residential roll for the 2021 Council election closes at 6.00pm on 26 July 2021.

Once you have completed the form send it to us, to the attention of the Chief Executive, using any of the following methods:

• By post: PO Box 214, Tenterfield 2372, Australia
• By hand: Customer Service Desk at the Visitor Information Centre, 157 Rouse Street, Tenterfield, NSW 2372
