If you are on the State electoral roll you will automatically receive a voting pack in the post.
Check if your residential and postal details are up to date on the State electoral roll.
If you have moved house or changed your name, you need to complete a new enrolment form, available at:
- your local Post Office, or
- at the Electoral Commission of South Australia office (located at Level 6/60 Light Square, Adelaide), or
- by calling Electoral Commission of South Australia on 1300 655 232 to request a form be sent to you.
Council supplementary roll (accordion)
If you are not enrolled on the State electoral roll you may be eligible to register on the council supplementary roll if:
- You have been resident at your current address for one month and are not on the State electoral roll
- You are a sole owner/occupier of rateable property
- You are not an Australian citizen but you have been a resident at your current address for one month
- You are a landlord for rateable property
- You are an organisation/business owner or occupier of rateable property
- You are a group of owners or occupiers of rateable property.
For example: If you are not an Australian citizen, and not on the State electoral roll you can vote in a council election, as long as you are above 18 years of age and have lived in the council area for more than one month. You can also vote in a council election if you own a rateable property in the area, regardless of whether you live in it.
Another important difference is that businesses and bodies corporate can vote in council elections. In order to do so you must register on your council’s supplementary roll. See further details below.
