Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission has published the number of electors enrolled in each Division in the various States and Territories as at 31 August 2014, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This Act was enacted to address the need for accurate and up-to-date electoral roll data in order to ensure the integrity of the electoral process. The publication of this information is intended to provide transparency and accountability in the electoral system. The Australian Electoral Commission, acting under the authority of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, is responsible for the administration of federal elections and the maintenance of the electoral roll. The policy objective of this publication is to provide the public with information about the enrolment figures in each Division, which can be used to inform discussions about the representation of different areas in the Parliament.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has set out the number of electors enrolled in each Division for each State and Territory as at 31 August 2014, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This gazette, issued by the Acting Electoral Commissioner, provides a comprehensive view of the electoral landscape across Australia, detailing the enrolment numbers and their deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each jurisdiction. The data applies to all states and territories within the Commonwealth of Australia, providing a clear and detailed electoral picture as of the specified date. The Act itself does not provide specific exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but the gazetted data assists in understanding the distribution and concentration of enrolled voters across different divisions. This information is crucial for electoral planning, representation, and the equitable distribution of resources and attention across electoral divisions.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has provided a schedule detailing the number of electors enrolled in each Division across various states and territories as of 31 August 2014. This schedule includes both the specific enrolment numbers for each division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for that jurisdiction. For instance, in New South Wales, the Division of Banks had an enrolment of 101,323 electors with a 0.38% deviation from the average, whereas the Division of Wentworth in New South Wales had an enrolment of 110,531 with a significant 9.50% deviation from the average. Similar data is provided for Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, each detailing the enrolment numbers and percentage deviations for their respective divisions. The Act imposes several obligations and requirements on the Australian Electoral Commission, primarily revolving around the accurate and timely calculation and publication of enrolment data. The Acting Electoral Commissioner must ascertain and set out the number of electors enrolled in each Division, determine the average divisional enrolment for each state and the Australian Capital Territory, and calculate the extent to which the enrolment of each Division differs from the average. This ensures transparency and provides a clear picture of electoral demographics across the country. There are no specific offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences outlined in the provided text for breach of the Act's requirements. However, non-compliance with electoral laws generally could lead to various legal repercussions, including fines and imprisonment, depending on the severity of the breach. The maximum penalties would be dictated by the specific provisions of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 and any related legislation.
