Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has published the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at 30 November 2015 for each State and Territory, along with the average divisional enrolment and the deviation of each Division's enrolment from this average. Enacted by the Parliament of Australia, the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was designed to provide for the conduct of elections for members of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. This particular publication aims to ensure transparency and accuracy in electoral data, providing a snapshot of the electoral landscape across the nation as of the specified date.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has determined and published the number of electors enrolled in each Division across various states and territories of Australia as at 30 November 2015. This encompasses all states, territories, and the Australian Capital Territory, with a detailed breakdown provided for each Division within these jurisdictions. The document includes the total number of enrolments per Division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment, which has been calculated at 103,146 for New South Wales, 104,808 for Victoria, 100,236 for Queensland, 103,029 for Western Australia, 105,934 for South Australia, 73,799 for Tasmania, 137,581 for the Australian Capital Territory, and 64,793 for the Northern Territory. The legislation applies to all enrolled voters in the specified divisions and does not explicitly mention any exclusions or exemptions. The application of the Act is not extended or restricted through subordinate instruments in this particular document, which serves as a gazetted statement of the enrolment statistics for electoral divisions.

Key Provisions

The main operative sections of the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) Gazette, specifically C2015G02043, detail the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division as at 30 November 2015. This information is presented for each state and territory, including the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates these determinations. The gazette lists the enrolment figures for each division, providing a snapshot of the electoral landscape at the specified date. Additionally, the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory is calculated, offering a comparative measure of enrolment across different regions. The obligations imposed by the Act primarily involve the Electoral Commissioner's duty to ascertain and publish the number of electors in each division. The Commissioner is also tasked with determining the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which individual divisions deviate from this average. This information is crucial for ensuring fair representation and compliance with electoral laws. The Act ensures that the public has access to transparent and up-to-date data regarding electoral enrolments, which is fundamental for democratic processes. There are no specific offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences outlined within this particular gazette. The document serves an informational purpose, detailing enrolment numbers and deviations without imposing sanctions for non-compliance. However, the underlying electoral legislation, such as the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, does include provisions for penalties related to electoral offences. These may include fines or imprisonment for violations such as voter fraud, improper conduct during elections, or failure to comply with electoral laws. The exact penalties depend on the nature and severity of the offence, as delineated in the broader legislative framework.
