Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission has published a gazette, C2012G00439, which sets out the number of electors enrolled in each Division across Australia as at 30 November 2012. The gazette was issued pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which mandates the Australian Electoral Commission to determine and publish the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each Division differs from the average divisional enrolment. This was done to ensure transparency and equitable representation in the electoral process by providing detailed data on electoral enrolments across different divisions. The gazette provides a comprehensive breakdown by state and territory, detailing the enrolment numbers, and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each division.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission has established the number of electors enrolled in each division across Australia as of 30 November 2012, under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This legislation applies to all states and territories within the Commonwealth of Australia, detailing the enrolment numbers for each division and how these numbers deviate from the average divisional enrolment. The data provided includes specific figures for each electoral division, detailing the number of enrolled electors and the percentage deviation from the average. This information is critical for electoral representation and the fair distribution of electoral resources. The Act does not specify exclusions or exemptions but provides a comprehensive breakdown for each state and territory, enabling a detailed analysis of electoral demographics. The application of this Act is not restricted by subordinate instruments but is directly derived from the primary legislation, ensuring a uniform application across all divisions.

Key Provisions

The primary sections of this legislation, specifically the schedule, provide details on the number of electors enrolled in each Division for each State and Territory as at 30 November 2012. For each Division, the schedule lists the enrolment number and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment (sections 1 to 8). The Electoral Commissioner, pursuant to s58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has ascertained these figures and included them in the schedule. This data is crucial for electoral representation and resource allocation within the electoral system. The Act imposes obligations on the Electoral Commissioner to determine and report the number of electors enrolled in each Division, calculate the average divisional enrolment, and determine the percentage deviation of each Division's enrolment from the average. This is performed for each State and Territory and includes the Australian Capital Territory (section 1). The Commissioner must ensure that this data is accurate and presented in a clear and accessible format, as shown in the schedule. Breach of the obligations set forth in this legislation could result in legal consequences. While specific offences, penalties, or consequences are not detailed within the text, non-compliance with electoral laws generally can lead to civil or criminal penalties. Civil penalties may include fines, while criminal penalties can result in imprisonment, depending on the severity and intent of the breach. The exact penalties would be determined in the context of the broader electoral legislation and any related laws.
