You can also check your enrolment details for the residential roll to ensure they are up to date and change if necessary.

The residential roll is the list of people who live in the council area and are eligible to vote in election.

Non-residential rolls

The non-residential rolls provide people who are non-resident owners, occupiers and rate-paying lessees of rateable land within the Council area an opportunity to have a say in who is elected to Council.

Below is a link to information from the NSW Electoral Commission on the non-residential rolls:
