Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission's Gazette, dated 30 September 2012, provides a comprehensive overview of the number of electors enrolled in each Division across various states and territories in Australia. This document, prepared under the authority of section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, was enacted to ensure the accurate and transparent management of electoral enrolments, thus facilitating fair and representative democratic processes. The Australian Electoral Commission, led by the Electoral Commissioner, is responsible for compiling and publishing this data to assist in the equitable distribution of electoral resources and the maintenance of electoral integrity. This gazette highlights the enrolment figures for each division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment, offering a clear snapshot of the electoral landscape as of the specified date.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's gazetted document, issued under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides details on the number of enrolled electors in each division for every state and territory as of 30 September 2012. The document delineates the enrolment numbers for each electoral division, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment within each jurisdiction. The document applies to all federal electoral divisions across Australia, encompassing states such as New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The document also provides the total enrolment figures for the entire country. It is worth noting that this document does not include any stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and its application is not extended or restricted through any subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

This document, Gazetted under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides an official count of electors enrolled in each electoral division of Australia as at 30 September 2012, along with the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average divisional enrolment for each state or territory. For each state and the Australian Capital Territory, the document also provides the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation for each division from the average. The main sections of the document detail the enrolment numbers and percentage deviations for each division across all states and territories. For instance, for New South Wales, the enrolment numbers range from 92,803 in the division of Macarthur to 102,823 in the division of Wentworth, with corresponding percentage deviations from the average divisional enrolment of -4.17% and 6.17% respectively. The obligations imposed by this Act primarily involve the Australian Electoral Commission ensuring the accuracy of the enrolment data and the publication of this data in a clear and accessible format. This includes calculating the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory, as well as determining the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from this average. The Act also mandates that this information be gazetted, making it publicly available. There are no specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breach outlined in this document. However, the accuracy of electoral enrolment data is crucial for ensuring fair and representative democratic processes. Inaccuracies in this data could potentially lead to electoral irregularities or disputes, and there may be legal or administrative consequences for any failure to accurately record or report enrolment data. The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, under which this document is gazetted, does provide for various electoral offences and penalties, including fines and imprisonment for offences such as electoral fraud or misconduct. However, these are not detailed in this specific document.
