Local Government Elections
Voting in Tasmanian local government elections is now compulsory.

Who can vote at a local government election?
Anyone who is enrolled on the state electoral roll for an address in the West Coast municipal area, is automatically enrolled for the municipal area as well.
Other people who own or occupy land in the municipal area, or are the nominated representatives of a corporate body that owns or occupies land in the municipal area, are also eligible to enrol, but must lodge an application with the General Manager. This is called the General Managers Roll.
