Enrolling to vote
Due to the recent postponement of the periodic Local Government Elections, the close of roll date will be extended.
New dates will be provided as soon as they have been confirmed by the Electoral Commission of South Australia.
Am I already enrolled?
Recent changes to legislation mean that you need to be enrolled on the South Australian electoral roll to be eligible to vote in your local council election.
Not sure if you are already enrolled? Checking your enrolment is simple, just visit ecsa.sa.gov.au/enrolment to find out.
What if I live outside of the Rural City of Murray Bridge but own a property within the Council area?
You might be eligible to vote in both Council areas, however, your enrolment for the Rural City of Murray Bridge (or another area) where you pay rates is not automatic. You will need to apply for this voting entitlement using this form - Natural Person
What if I own a business in the Rural City of Murray Bridge?
You might be eligible to enrol to vote in the election. You will need to apply for this voting entitlement using this form - Body Corporate
What if I am part of a Group of Owners or Group of Occupiers within the Rural City of Murray Bridge?
Where a property is owned by more than one owner (ie a group owner) or occupied by more than one occupier/tenant you will need to apply for this voting entitlement using this form - Group Owners or Group Occupiers
What if I have previously enrolled to vote as a property owner who lives outside the Council area, a business owner, or are part of a group ownership or group occupier within the City of Murray Bridge?
If you have previously enrolled to vote in a Local Government Election in either of the capacities above, you are required to enrol again as these three types of enrolments are purged each local government election year.
What happens after I submit my form to the Council?
Once you submit your form to the Council, by:
- dropping it off to the Local Government Centre, 2 Seventh Street, Murray Bridge during opening hours
or
- emailing a completed copy of the form to council@murraybridge.sa.gov.au
Your form will be processed, eligibility criteria checked, status of a State Elector confirmed by ECSA and you will be informed if your application was accepted or rejected.
Information regarding the enrolment closing dates will be provided as soon as the Electoral Commission of South Australia have confirmed the new dates.
