If you are not a resident, you may be entitled to vote in the Liverpool Council elections, if you own, occupy or lease property in the Liverpool LGA as a corporation, business or individual. You will have to be registered on Liverpool Council’s non-residential roll. A non-residential roll is only valid for the council election it is prepared for, so you must re-enrol for every election.

- an occupier or rate-paying lessee of rateable land in the Liverpool LGA.
You will need to fill out the Individual Claim form. If you own, occupy or lease the property with other people, you must nominate who will be voting on behalf of everyone and fill out the Nomination Claim form.
