(1) For the purposes of section 9A(3) or 9A(5), if it appears from the Council
records that there are more than 2 owners or more than 2 occupiers of any
rateable property, the Chief Executive Officer must enrol without application
the 2 owners or 2 occupiers-

   (a)  whose names appear first on the Council records in relation to that
        rateable property when those names are read in the order in which they
        appear in those records; and





   (b)  who satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of section
        9A(3) or paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of section 9A(5) in respect of
        that rateable property.

(2) Despite subsection (1), if a written request containing the details
required by the regulations is delivered to the Council office by 4 p.m. on
the entitlement date requesting that the owner or 2 owners, or occupier or 2
occupiers, of the rateable property specified in the request be enrolled on
the voters' roll instead of the owner or 2 owners, or occupier or 2 occupiers,
that would otherwise be enrolled by virtue of subsection (1), the Chief
Executive Officer must give effect to the request.

(3) A person enrolled on the voters' roll in accordance with subsection (1) or
(2) continues to be enrolled unless a written request containing the details
required by the regulations is delivered to the Council office by 4 p.m. on
the entitlement date requesting that the owner or occupier specified in the
request be enrolled on the voters' roll instead of that person.
