You may be eligible to be enrolled to vote in the local government elections on 18 October 2025 if you live in or are an owner or occupier of rateable property in the Town of Claremont.

Residents
You are automatically enrolled to vote if you are on the State Electoral Roll as at 5:00 PM Friday, 22 August
2025. 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.

Enrolment Forms
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 Friday, 22 August 2025.

Non-Resident Owners and Occupiers
If you are a non-resident owner or occupier of rateable property in the Town of Claremont and are on the
State or Commonwealth Electoral Roll, you are eligible to enrol to vote. 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 Town of
Claremont 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 and have paid rent for at least the prescribed amount.

may nominate two persons from amongst themselves who are on either the State or Commonwealth
Electoral Roll, to enrol as owner/occupier electors.

Corporations
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.

Officer by 5:00 PM Friday, 22 August 2025. Further information can be obtained from the Town of
