If you need to check or update your enrolment for future elections, you can choose one of the following options:

Council supplementary roll

If you are not enrolled on the state electoral roll you may be eligible to register on the council supplementary roll if you are:

• a resident or a non-Australian citizen who has lived at your residential address for one month or more
• an owner of an organisation or business
• an owner of a holiday home
• a sole owner, or group of owners, of a rateable property
• a sole occupier, or group of occupiers, of a rateable property
• a landlord of rateable property.

In accordance with section 15(5a) of the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, council must purge the council's supplementary roll on 1 January of every election year. Therefore, all landlords, organisations, business owners or occupiers, and resident non-Australian citizens, must re-enrol from January 1 of every election year to be eligible to vote, with the exception of the City of Adelaide.

If you are unsure whether you are enrolled on the council supplementary roll, contact your local council.

CANDIDATE PORTAL ACCESS (link to external website)
Due to the high volume of supplementary election events scheduled for September, our candidate portal is currently unable to accommodate individual Council names. As a result, we have opted to use the generic label "September 2025 Supplementary Elections" on the portal’s landing page. Candidates wishing to nominate will select this option, after which they can proceed to nominate within their respective election.

In accordance with the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, the draw to determine the order of candidate names to appear on the ballot paper was held on Thursday 7 August 2025. The result of the draw are detailed below.

O'CONNELL, Michael

Currently in my third year as a Councillor I serve on the Council Audit and Risk, Roads, Edithburgh Swimming Pool and Access Advisory Committees. Although now retired I was previously a High School Principal, Chair of the South East Secondary Schools Association and member of the Education Department Secondary Schools Review Panel. My community involvement has included Presiding Member of a Health Advisory Council and Apex (Life Member) and more recently Edithburgh Progress Association, including Chair of the Caravan Park management committee. After growing up on Yorke Peninsula I now live in Edithburgh. I am married with two adult children and four grandchildren. Dedicated to local government, if selected as Mayor I will strive to be an ambassador of Yorke Peninsula, representing Council in a variety of capacities and providing leadership of fairness and integrity to support decision making for the best interests of the wider community.
