VPRS 14610 Voters' Roll

This series consists of Voters Rolls from the City of Moorabbin (VA 656). The Voters' Rolls were created annually from voters' lists made of eligible ratepayers, who were reviewed and certified, as being entitled to vote at a municipal election. The Chief Executive Officer of the council was required to provide the Victorian Electoral Commission (VA 4196) with sufficient details for them to be able to construct lists of voters for each ward. This was in accordance with the Local Government Act 1989 (Act No. 11/1989) and associated regulations. It was the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer to check the Voters' Rolls as supplied by the Victorian Electoral Commission to ensure the accuracy of the voter's names and other details. Persons no longer eligible to vote were removed from the lists, and the details of those newly eligible were added.Voters' Rolls created by the Chief Executive Officer could contain the lists as supplied by the Victorian Electoral Commission, or be an entirely separate document. Legislation stipulated that Voters' Rolls were to identify the ward in which a voter was enrolled and certify that the roll was prepared in accordance with the Act.Once the Voters' Rolls have been created, the Chief Executive Officer was required to provide public access to the rolls, and publish a notification specifying when and where the Voters' Rolls would be available for public inspection.Voters' Rolls and lists were known under various titles, including Ratepayers Rolls and lists c1854, Burgess Rolls and lists c1860's, Citizens Rolls and lists and later (from around 1939) Voters' Lists and Rolls.This series may comprise of both rolls and lists.

本数据集包含莫拉宾市（City of Moorabbin，档案编号VA 656）的选民名册（Voters Rolls）。该选民名册每年根据符合资格的纳税义务人（ratepayers）名单编制，经审核认证后，可供符合条件者参与市政选举投票。
市议会首席执行官需向维多利亚选举委员会（Victorian Electoral Commission，VA 4196）提供充足信息，以便其为每个选区编制选民名单，此工作需符合《1989年地方政府法》（Local Government Act 1989，法案编号Act No. 11/1989）及相关配套法规。
市议会首席执行官的职责之一是核查维多利亚选举委员会提供的选民名册，以确保选民姓名及其他信息的准确性：不再具备投票资格的人员将从名单中移除，新增符合资格人员的信息则会被录入。
由市议会首席执行官编制的选民名册，可直接包含维多利亚选举委员会提供的选民名单，亦可作为独立文档单独编制。相关法规明确要求，选民名册需标注选民登记所属的选区，并证明该名册系依据法案要求编制。
选民名册编制完成后，市议会首席执行官需向公众开放查阅，并发布公告说明名册可供公众查阅的时间与地点。
