373: Electoral roll for election of trustees

You could also call this:

"Who can vote for community trust leaders is decided by a special list of people who live in the area"

When you want to vote for trustees of a community trust, there is a special list of people who can vote, called the electoral roll. You are on this list if you live in the area that the trust covers. The trust area might be inside one city or district, or it might cover parts of several cities or districts.

If the trust area is inside one city or district, the electoral roll for that city or district is used. You will be on the list if you can vote in the city or district elections. The electoral officer will mark your name on the list to show you can vote for the trustees.

The electoral officer can use special words, abbreviations, or marks to show who can vote. They might also note which part of the trust area you can vote in, if the area is divided into smaller parts called wards. You can find more information about this in s 219T(2)–(4).
