Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission Act 1927 was enacted to establish the Australian Electoral Commission, which is responsible for the administration of elections in Australia. The legislation was introduced to address the need for a dedicated body to manage and oversee the electoral process, ensuring that elections are conducted in a fair and efficient manner. The Act empowers the Australian Electoral Commission to determine the number of electors enrolled in each division and the average divisional enrolment, as well as the extent to which the number of electors in each division deviates from this average. The Australian Electoral Commission is the enacting body, and its policy objective is to ensure the integrity and efficiency of the electoral process in Australia.

Scope and Application

The gazette C2016G00060, issued pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, delineates the number of electors enrolled in each division within the states and territories of Australia as of 31 December 2015. This document, issued by the Electoral Commissioner, provides a comprehensive breakdown of enrolment numbers for each division, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The data is presented for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Notably, the document does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds that might apply to the enrolment data presented. The data provided serves as a foundational reference for electoral processes, ensuring that each division's representation aligns with the number of enrolled electors. Additionally, while the primary act itself is the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the scope and detailed application of the electoral process might be further defined or extended through subordinate instruments, though none are referenced in this particular gazette.

Key Provisions

The document (C2016G00060) provides the number of electors enrolled in each Division of each State and Territory as at 31 December 2015, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation from this average for each Division. It breaks down the enrolment data by state and territory, listing the enrolment number for each Division and how much this number deviates from the average divisional enrolment (sections 1-7). This Act imposes no direct obligations or requirements on the parties or entities it governs. Instead, it serves as a record of the electoral enrolment data for the specified date. The data is intended to provide a snapshot of the electoral landscape at a particular point in time, which can be useful for various purposes such as planning and resource allocation in electoral processes. The document itself does not impose any offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences for breach, as it is purely informational. However, the underlying legislation and processes it references, such as the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, do include provisions for offences and penalties related to electoral matters. For instance, under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, there are provisions for offences related to electoral fraud, improper conduct, and violations of electoral laws, with penalties that can include fines and imprisonment. The specific penalties can vary depending on the nature and severity of the offence, with maximum penalties sometimes reaching significant financial and custodial sanctions. These provisions are not detailed in the document but are part of the broader legislative framework within which this enrolment data operates.
