Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission Gazette of 2013, C2013G00379, provides data on the number of enrolled electors in each federal electoral division across Australia as at 28 February 2013. This gazette was issued pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The primary objective of this gazette is to furnish accurate and up-to-date information regarding the enrolment statistics for each division, including the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from this average. This information is critical for ensuring equitable representation and facilitating the fair administration of electoral processes across the country. The document lists the enrolment figures and percentage deviations for each division in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, culminating in the total enrolment figures for Australia.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission Act, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides the Electoral Commissioner with the authority to determine and set out the number of electors enrolled in each Division for every State and Territory as of a specific date. This legislation applies to all electors enrolled in the electoral rolls of Australia, encompassing both individual persons and entities involved in the electoral process across all states and territories within the Commonwealth of Australia. The Act does not explicitly mention any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but the practical application of the Act would involve the scrutiny and analysis of electoral data to ensure accurate representation and compliance with electoral laws. The scope of the Act is comprehensive, covering all divisions within each state and territory, and it includes the calculation of average divisional enrolments as well as the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from these averages. This detailed electoral data is crucial for the administration of federal elections and the equitable representation of all Australians in the electoral process.

Key Provisions

The primary operative sections of this legislation (C2013G00379) pertain to the determination and publication of electoral enrolment statistics for each state and territory of Australia, as of a specified date. Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates that the Electoral Commissioner ascertain and publish the number of electors enrolled in each Division within each state and territory. Furthermore, for each state and the Australian Capital Territory, the Commissioner must determine the average divisional enrolment and calculate the extent to which the number of electors in each Division deviates from this average. This information is presented in a detailed schedule, listing each division's enrolment number and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The obligations imposed by this Act on the Electoral Commissioner include the meticulous calculation and publication of enrolment statistics for each electoral division across Australia. The Commissioner is required to ensure that the data is accurate and up-to-date, reflecting the number of enrolled electors as of the date specified in the legislation. Additionally, the Commissioner must determine the average divisional enrolment for each state and the Australian Capital Territory and compute the deviation of each division's enrolment from this average. This comprehensive data presentation aims to provide transparency and facilitate informed analysis of electoral demographics. While the legislation itself does not explicitly outline specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breaches, it operates within the broader framework of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. Non-compliance with the requirements to accurately report electoral enrolment data could potentially lead to legal repercussions under the Act. The Electoral Act contains provisions that address electoral offences, including penalties for offences such as providing false or misleading information, voter fraud, and other electoral misconduct. The penalties for such offences can include fines and, in severe cases, imprisonment. The precise penalties depend on the nature and severity of the breach, as detailed in the relevant sections of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918.
