Local Government Owners and Occupiers roll: a silent elector is someone who believes that having his address displayed on an electoral roll may put his safety at risk. Accordingly, he can request the CEO (by completing a Statutory Declaration which states his reasons for the request) to withhold his address from the electoral roll. The elector’s address will be known only to electoral staff – it is required for the purpose of posting out voting packages.
