Local Government Election: Do You Need to Apply to Vote?

Local Government Election: Do You Need to Apply to Vote?

If you’re already enrolled to vote in State and Federal elections, you are automatically enrolled to vote in the 2026 Local Government Elections for the municipality where your enrolled residential address is located.

However, each local council maintains a General Manager’s Roll for eligible non-resident voters.

Enrolment on the General Manager’s Roll is not automatic. If you’re eligible, you must lodge an application before the closing date.

You may be eligible to enroll on the Waratah-Wynyard Council General Manager’s Roll if you:

• own or occupy land in the municipal area that is different from where you are enrolled on the State Electoral Roll; or

• are the nominated representative of a corporate body that owns or occupies land in the municipal area.

For more information and an application form for the Waratah-Wynyard Council General Manager’s Roll, visit: https://www.warwyn.tas.gov.au/our-council/about-council/

To check or update your enrolment on the State Electoral Roll, visit: https://www.tec.tas.gov.au/

Applications for the Waratah-Wynyard Council General Manager’s Roll close at 6.00 pm on Thursday 10 September 2026.
