Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) gazetted the Australian Electoral Commission (Enrolment Information) Determination 2015 on 10 March 2015. This determination provides information on the number of electors enrolled in each Division across all states and territories as at 28 February 2015, as well as the average divisional enrolment and the deviation of each Division's enrolment from the average. The determination was made pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which requires the AEC to determine the number of electors in each Division. The objective of this determination is to provide transparency and assist in the administration of elections by ensuring that electoral rolls are up-to-date and accurate.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission has determined the number of electors enrolled in each Division of the Commonwealth of Australia as at 28 February 2015, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This determination applies to the six states of Australia (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, and Tasmania), the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The legislation identifies the number of enrolled electors in each electoral division within these jurisdictions, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The geographic reach of this Act is national, encompassing all federal electoral divisions across the Commonwealth of Australia. There are no stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds within this Act. The application of this Act is not extended or restricted through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The primary sections of the document outline the number of electors enrolled in each Division of the Commonwealth as of a specified date. This information is provided for each state and territory, with the document indicating the number of enrolled electors in each Division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. For instance, for New South Wales as of February 28, 2015, the enrolment numbers and deviations for each Division are listed, with Sydney having 109,157 enrolled electors and a 7.54% deviation from the average, and Wentworth having 111,049 enrolled electors with a 9.40% deviation (sections 1-7). The obligations imposed by this Act primarily involve the accurate and timely reporting of electoral enrolment data by the Australian Electoral Commission. The Commission is responsible for determining the average divisional enrolment and calculating the extent to which each Division's enrolment differs from this average. The document specifies these calculations and provides detailed enrolment numbers and deviations for each Division within the states and territories of Australia (sections 1-7). There are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences for breach mentioned within the text of this document. However, the accuracy and reliability of the enrolment data are crucial for ensuring fair and representative electoral processes. Any inaccuracies or non-compliance with reporting obligations could potentially lead to legal or administrative repercussions under the broader electoral laws and regulations, although these are not detailed in this specific document.
