Note. The roll of electors for an area is prepared in time for each election. The roll of electors is a composite roll based on the residential roll, the non-residential roll and the roll of occupiers and ratepaying lessees. The residential roll is a roll of residents in the area, whether or not they own the property where they reside. It is prepared and confirmed by the Electoral Commissioner in time for each election. It may be based on the same roll as the one used for State and Federal elections. The non-residential roll is a roll of persons who pay rates on property they own in an area but who do not live on that property. It is prepared by the general manager of the council for the area and confirmed by the Electoral Commissioner in time for each election. The roll of occupiers and ratepaying lessees covers both occupiers of rateable land who are not owners, and lessees who, under the terms of their leases, must pay rates. It is prepared for a specific election by the general manager and includes only those who actually apply for inclusion on this roll. It is confirmed by the Electoral Commissioner.
