Local Electoral Regulations 2001

Schedule 1 Enrolment form for ratepayer electors

r 20

Schedule 1: substituted, on 7 July 2004, by section 14(9) of the Local Government (Rating) Amendment Act 2004 (2004 No 66).

This form must be used for every application for enrolment as a ratepayer elector and for every nomination for enrolment as a ratepayer elector. People who may be eligible to enrol as ratepayer electors or to nominate certain people for enrolment as ratepayer electors are—

  • parliamentary electors who are owners of rateable property within the region, district, or community but whose addresses as parliamentary electors are outside that region, district, or community:

  • legal persons such as companies, banks, or bodies corporate who are owners of rateable property in the region, district, or community:

  • people such as joint tenants and tenants in common who are owners of rateable property in the region, district, or community.

You are entitled to be a ratepayer elector only in respect of a property that is a rating unit under the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002. If a property is a rating unit, the local authority will generally have issued a rates assessment for it.

Please note that sole ratepayers must complete section A (E1, E2, and E3) on the form, and that ratepayers appointing a nominee (for example, joint ratepayers or companies) must complete section B (E4, E5, and E6) on the form. You may be required to complete section C if you are applying in respect of more than 1 property. The ratepayer elector and property information will be published in the electoral roll and other information provided may be included on that roll. (You may apply to the local authority at any time for the correction of that information.)
