Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, under Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has published the number of electors enrolled in each Division for each State and Territory as of 31 March 2013. This publication follows the Electoral Commissioner's determination of the average divisional enrolment and the extent of the deviation of each Division's enrolment from this average. The primary objective of this Act is to ensure fair representation by providing accurate and up-to-date electoral data, thereby facilitating informed electoral processes. This information is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the electoral system and ensuring that each Division's representation aligns with its population size. The data is presented to Parliament and serves as a foundational document for electoral reforms and adjustments in representation.

Scope and Application

This piece of legislation, Gazetted under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, details the electoral enrolment numbers for each division in Australia as of 31 March 2013. The Act applies to the citizens of Australia, specifically focusing on the enrolment numbers in each electoral division across various states and territories. The data presented includes the total enrolment figures for each division and their deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The geographic reach of this Act is national, encompassing all states and territories in Australia. Notably, there are no stated exclusions or exemptions within this document. However, it is important to recognise that the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 itself might contain provisions that could exclude certain individuals or entities from the electoral process. The document does not extend or restrict application through subordinate instruments, but the parent Act may contain such provisions.

Key Provisions

The main operative sections of the Australian Electoral Commission's document (C2013G00575) detail the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as at 31 March 2013. Each entry in the schedule (Section 1) lists the number of enrolments and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each division in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The document also includes the total enrolments for each state and territory, as well as the national total. The obligations and requirements imposed by this Act involve the Electoral Commissioner determining the number of electors enrolled in each division and calculating the average divisional enrolment. The document provides a detailed breakdown of enrolment numbers and their deviations from the average for each division, ensuring transparency and accuracy in the electoral process. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences for breach mentioned in this particular document. The primary purpose of the document is to provide a clear and detailed account of the electoral enrolment data rather than to enforce penalties. However, breaches of electoral laws generally fall under the purview of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which includes provisions for offences and penalties for various electoral misconducts. For instance, the Act can impose fines and imprisonment for offences such as false enrolments, bribery, and other electoral offences. The exact penalties can vary based on the severity of the offence and may be subject to the discretion of the court.
