Non-Resident Ratepayer Electors

If you live in one area and pay rates on a property in another area, you may be eligible to vote in both areas during local elections. You need to be enrolled as a parliamentary elector at your residential address before you can enrol on the ratepayer roll.

There are two types of electors.

Residential Electors are registered to vote on the electoral roll, you are automatically enrolled to vote in local authority elections. You will receive a voting document so that you can vote by post.

Ratepayer Electors may also be eligible to enrol as a non-resident ratepayer elector in a council district if both of these apply:

• • you are on the district valuation roll and pay rates in the council district
  • the address where you are registered as a Parliamentary elector is outside Carterton District.
