Non-Resident Owners and Occupiers
If you are a non-resident owner or occupier of rateable property in the Shire of Pingelly and are on the State or Commonwealth Electoral Roll, you are eligible to enrol to vote. If you are not on the State or Commonwealth Electoral Roll and own or occupy rateable property in the Shire of Pingelly, you may be eligible to enrol to vote.

Occupiers do not have continuous enrolment and should contact the Shire of Pingelly to confirm their enrolment status. To be eligible to enrol as an occupier, you will need to have a right of continuous occupation under a lease, tenancy agreement or other legal instrument for at least the next three (3) months following the date of the application to enrol.
