Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) published a gazette in 2014 under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This act was introduced to manage the electoral processes in Australia, ensuring that elections are conducted in a fair and efficient manner. The gazette provides a detailed breakdown of the number of electors enrolled in each division across various states and territories as of 31 March 2014, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The purpose of this publication is to offer transparency and facilitate the review and adjustment of electoral boundaries to maintain equitable representation. The AEC, as the body responsible for the administration of elections, ensures adherence to the policy objectives set forth in the act.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's gazette C2014G00600 pertains to the electoral divisions in Australia, specifying the number of electors enrolled in each division as of 31 March 2014. The legislation applies to all federal electoral divisions across Australia, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. It provides a comprehensive breakdown of the number of enrolled electors in each division, alongside the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The gazette does not specify exclusions or exemptions, applying uniformly to all federal divisions. The data provided is instrumental for electoral purposes, ensuring equitable representation by assessing the distribution of electors across divisions. While the gazette itself is the primary instrument, adjustments and further details may be governed by subordinate electoral laws and regulations.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission, under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has released a schedule detailing the number of enrolled electors in each Division as at 31 March 2014, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation from this average. This schedule covers New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. For each state and territory, the schedule lists the electoral enrolment for each division and its percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. For instance, in New South Wales, the Division of Banks had an enrolment of 101,512 with a deviation of 0.64%, while the Division of Eden-Monaro had an enrolment of 100,571 with a deviation of -0.28%. The primary obligations of the Act, as evidenced by this schedule, include the requirement for the Australian Electoral Commission to ascertain and publish the number of enrolled electors in each Division. The Commission is also tasked with calculating the average divisional enrolment and determining the extent to which the enrolment in each Division deviates from this average. This data is crucial for ensuring that electoral divisions are as equal in population as practicable, in line with the principles of representative democracy. The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 does not explicitly outline specific offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences for breaches related to the publication of enrolment figures. However, the Act does provide a framework for the enforcement of electoral laws, including potential penalties for electoral offences such as bribery, undue influence, and false statements. The maximum penalties for such offences can vary, with some carrying significant fines and imprisonment terms. The enforcement of these provisions falls under the broader electoral legislation and related regulations, which are designed to maintain the integrity of the electoral process. In summary, the schedule provides essential data on electoral enrolments, ensuring transparency and adherence to the principles of equitable representation. While the specific schedule itself does not impose penalties, the broader electoral framework under which it operates includes measures to address and penalise electoral misconduct.
