Eligible Rockingham residents will be able to vote at polling places on July 29.
There will also be early voting locations in the Rockingham area and Perth city centre from July 12 and applications for postal votes are now open.
“As with all State elections, it’s compulsory for eligible electors to vote in the Rockingham by-election and there are a range of voting options to help people elect their new local member,” WA Electoral Commissioner Robert Kennedy said.
