Verification number

We're required by law to publish how many signatures of registered voters are required on a petition on whether we should change to a different form of governance.

Electors can petition us to hold a referendum. The petition must be signed by at least 5% of the registered electors for the District. 

This figure is known as the verification number.

Verification number: 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025: 4.491
