Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission has published a gazette, C2015G00686, under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This gazette provides a detailed breakdown of the number of electors enrolled in each Division for each State and Territory as at 30 April 2015, as determined by Acting Electoral Commissioner Kevin Kitson. The primary objective of this gazette is to ensure transparency and accuracy in electoral data, reflecting the enrolment numbers and their deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This information is crucial for maintaining equitable representation and fair electoral processes across the various divisions in Australia. The gazette lists the enrolment figures for each division, along with the percentage deviation from the average enrolment, for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, providing a comprehensive overview of the electoral landscape as of the specified date.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's gazette C2015G00686 pertains to the determination of the number of electors enrolled in each Division of Australia as at 30 April 2015, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The gazette details the enrolment figures for each Division across various states and territories, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each Division's enrolment from the average. The legislation applies to all states and territories within the Commonwealth of Australia, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The gazette provides a comprehensive breakdown of enrolment figures and deviations for each Division, highlighting the distribution of electors and their alignment with the average divisional enrolment. There are no stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds within the gazette itself, although the underlying Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 may include such provisions. The gazette serves as a statutory record and does not extend or restrict the application of the Act through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has established the number of electors enrolled in each division for each state and territory as of 30 April 2015. The document provides details on the number of enrolled electors in each division, the average divisional enrolment, and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each division differs from the average divisional enrolment. This includes New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The Act imposes obligations on the Australian Electoral Commission to ensure that the enrolment data is accurate and up-to-date. This includes determining the number of electors enrolled in each division, calculating the average divisional enrolment, and assessing the deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. The document does not specify any offences, penalties, or civil or criminal consequences for breach. However, under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, there are various offences and penalties associated with electoral fraud, misuse of electoral materials, and other electoral offences. For example, a person who is guilty of an offence against the Act is liable to a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, or both, under section 256. Additionally, under section 262, a person who knowingly or recklessly makes a false statement in an electoral document is liable to a fine of up to $3,000 or imprisonment for up to six months, or both. These penalties may be increased if the offence is committed in relation to a significant electoral event, such as a federal election or a referendum.
