Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has published the electoral statistics for each division as of 31 August 2015, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This Act was enacted to establish the AEC and define its functions, including the maintenance of electoral rolls and the conduct of elections. The primary objective of this publication is to provide a clear overview of the number of enrolled electors in each division and how they compare to the average divisional enrolment across the states and territories. This information is essential for ensuring that electoral processes are fair and representative, as well as for making informed decisions about the allocation of electoral resources. The data presented in the schedule includes the enrolment figures for each division, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment, thereby facilitating a comprehensive analysis of electoral distribution across Australia.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, as per section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has determined the number of electors enrolled in each Division across Australia as of 31 August 2015. This determination includes the calculation of the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from this average. The data provided pertains to all States and Territories, with specific details for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. This data applies to the electoral divisions within these jurisdictions and includes the number of enrolled electors and their deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The data does not include any exclusions, exemptions, or specific thresholds, and no subordinate instruments extend or restrict its application. The comprehensive data provided will assist in electoral planning and representation within the specified regions.

Key Provisions

The document titled "Australian Electoral Commission" pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, outlines the number of electors enrolled in each Division across various states and territories as at 31 August 2015. This includes specific data for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. For each state and territory, it details the enrolment numbers for each electoral division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The primary sections of the document require the Electoral Commissioner to ascertain and record the enrolment figures for each Division. Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates these determinations, which are then published in the Gazette. This ensures transparency and accountability in the electoral process by providing a clear snapshot of the electorate distribution. The obligations imposed on the Electoral Commissioner include the accurate calculation and publication of the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation for each Division. This involves meticulous record-keeping and data analysis to ensure that the information provided is both precise and reflective of the current electoral landscape. Failure to comply with the requirements outlined in the document may result in legal repercussions. Although specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breach are not detailed in the provided text, breaches of electoral laws generally carry significant penalties. These can include substantial fines, imprisonment, or both, depending on the severity of the violation. The Australian Electoral Act 1918 and related legislation typically impose strict penalties to maintain the integrity of the electoral process.
