Voting in Council Elections
A person has one vote only in a municipal district. Voting is compulsory where you are enrolled for your principal place of residence (ie via the State Electoral Roll entitlement). Voting is not conditional on being a property owner; if you are aged 18 and over and on the State Electoral Roll you are required to vote in Council Elections. In Council Elections, where a voter at the time of the Election is aged 70 years and over, the voter is excused from compulsory voting.
