Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) was established pursuant to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which aimed to create an independent body responsible for the administration of federal elections and electoral matters in Australia. The AEC ensures that elections are conducted fairly, efficiently, and in accordance with the law. The legislation addresses the need for an impartial oversight body to manage electoral processes, ensuring adherence to democratic principles and maintaining public confidence in the electoral system. The AEC’s role includes determining the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at a specific date and calculating the average divisional enrolment, as well as assessing the extent to which the number of electors in each Division differs from this average. This task was performed for each State and Territory, with the specific data provided for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory as at 30 June 2013. The data provides a snapshot of the enrolment figures and their deviations from the average, highlighting any disparities that may need attention to ensure equitable representation.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) under the authority of Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 has provided a detailed breakdown of the number of enrolled electors in each Division across all States and Territories as at 30 June 2013. This data encompasses the entire Commonwealth of Australia, covering all federal electoral divisions within each state and territory. The information provided includes the total number of enrolments for each division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This meticulous record is integral for the AEC in ensuring that the electoral process is fair and accurately reflects the distribution of the electorate. The data provided does not explicitly mention any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds; however, it is implied that the data pertains only to registered electors. The AEC's authority to collect and publish this information is rooted in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, and any further regulation or stipulations would be governed by subordinate instruments or amendments to the Act.

Key Provisions

The main operative sections of the legislation detail the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 30 June 2013, and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory. For instance, under New South Wales, the division of Banks had 100,819 enrolled electors, representing a 1.94% deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This section (s58) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates the Electoral Commissioner to ascertain and set out the enrolment figures for each division and determine the average divisional enrolment and deviations therefrom. The obligations imposed by this Act on the Electoral Commissioner include the calculation of the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory, as well as determining the extent to which each division's enrolment differs from this average. The Electoral Commissioner is also required to ensure that this information is accurately presented in the schedule provided in the Gazette. In terms of consequences for breach, the legislation does not explicitly outline any offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences for non-compliance. However, the accuracy of the data presented is crucial for ensuring fair representation in electoral divisions. Any inaccuracies or discrepancies in the enrolment figures could potentially impact the electoral process, leading to legal challenges or disputes. It is important for the Electoral Commissioner to adhere strictly to the requirements of the Act to avoid any such issues.
