If enrolling as a business or organisation, a person must be nominated to vote on its behalf.

Enrol on the supplementary roll

City of Mitcham’s supplementary roll gives more people the chance to vote in Council elections.

You can apply if you’re 18 or older, on the state electoral roll in South Australia and meet the eligibility criteria.

The supplementary roll was reset on 1 January 2026, so you’ll need to re-enrol for the 2027 election even if you’ve enrolled before.
