Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is responsible for the administration of Australian elections, including the maintenance of electoral rolls and the provision of information about electoral divisions. Enacted under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Australian Electoral Commission (Electoral Divisions) Determination 2014 specifies the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as at 28 February 2014. This determination was made by Acting Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers to provide accurate and up-to-date information regarding the distribution of electors among the various divisions, ensuring that the electoral process is fair and representative. The information provided in this determination assists in the ongoing review and adjustment of electoral boundaries to maintain equitable representation across the country.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, acting under the authority granted by section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has provided a detailed schedule outlining the number of electors enrolled in each Division across all States and Territories as of 28 February 2014. This comprehensive data includes the specific enrolment figures for each electoral division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The information is presented for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, each detailing the enrolment numbers and their comparative deviations from the respective average divisional enrolments. This data is instrumental for electoral processes and ensuring equitable representation across the Commonwealth, reflecting the geographic and jurisdictional reach of the legislation. No exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds are specified in this schedule, and it does not extend or restrict application through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission has issued a gazette under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, detailing the number of enrolled electors for each Division in every State and Territory as at 28 February 2014. For each State and the Australian Capital Territory, the Commission has also determined the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the enrolment in each Division deviates from this average. This document provides a comprehensive overview of the electoral landscape across Australia. Under the provisions of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Australian Electoral Commission is tasked with maintaining and updating electoral rolls, ensuring that the enrolment data is accurate and up-to-date. The Commission is responsible for determining the number of electors in each Division and calculating the average divisional enrolment. These calculations are critical for maintaining fair and representative electoral processes across the country. The data provided in the gazette serves as an official record of the enrolment statistics, which are essential for various electoral activities, including boundary reviews and resource allocation. The Act imposes several obligations on the Australian Electoral Commission. Firstly, it mandates the regular and accurate updating of electoral rolls. The Commission must ensure that the enrolment data is precise, reflecting the actual number of electors in each Division. Secondly, the Act requires the Commission to determine the average divisional enrolment and to calculate the deviation of each Division's enrolment from this average. These calculations help in identifying any significant discrepancies that may require further investigation or corrective action. Lastly, the Commission is obligated to publish this information in a gazette, making it publicly available and ensuring transparency in the electoral process. Breaches of the obligations under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 can lead to various civil and criminal consequences. While specific offences and penalties are not detailed in the gazette, the Act generally provides for fines and imprisonment for violations related to electoral offences. For instance, providing false information in an electoral roll or tampering with electoral materials can result in substantial penalties. The seriousness of the offence and the intent behind it can influence the severity of the penalty. The Act ensures that the electoral process is conducted with integrity and that any misconduct is appropriately addressed to maintain public trust in the electoral system.
