Voters Roll
The voters roll is a list of all the people who are eligible to vote in an election. For Council elections, the voters roll has two components:
- The South Australian (House of Assembly) Electoral Roll
- The Council Voters (Supplementary) Roll
Roll close: Monday 4 January 2027
South Australian (House of Assembly) Electoral Roll
If you are enrolled to vote in South Australian State elections and your residential address is within the District Council of Robe, you will automatically receive a voting pack in the mail for the Local Government Election.
It is your responsibility to ensure your enrolment details are current.
To check or update your enrolment details, please visit the Electoral Commission of South Australia website via this link (https://www.councilelections.sa.gov.au/enrol/check) or call 1300 655 232.
Council Voters (Supplementary) Roll
What is the Supplementary Roll?
The Council Voters (Supplementary) Roll is for people who are entitled to vote in a council election but do not live in the council area.
This typically includes people who own, lease or occupy property in the District Council of Robe but have their primary residence elsewhere in South Australia.
Who needs to apply?
You may need to apply for the Supplementary Roll if you:
- own a home or investment property in Robe but do not reside in the district
- lease or operate a business in the district
- are part of a company or group that owns or occupies property in the area
Important information for 2027 Elections
Under section 15(5a) of the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, the Supplementary Roll is reset on 1 January in an election year. In this instance, with the delay of the Elections to April 2027, the roll was reset on 1 January 2026.
This means all previous supplementary enrolments expired on 1 January 2026, and eligible persons must submit a new application in to be included on the Supplementary Roll for the upcoming election.
Recent legislative amendments also require that any person applying for inclusion on the Supplementary Roll must be enrolled on the House of Assembly roll (i.e. have a South Australian residential address).
If you are not enrolled on the House of Assembly roll, you are not eligible to apply for the Council Voters (Supplementary) Roll.
