Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, under the authority of section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has provided data on the number of enrolled electors in each division as of 31 May 2015 for each state and territory. This data includes the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment, which the Electoral Commissioner has calculated for each state and the Australian Capital Territory. This information is intended to ensure transparency and accuracy in electoral enrolment statistics and to aid in the equitable representation of all citizens in federal elections. The data reflects the enrolment numbers and deviations across various divisions within New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, highlighting the distribution of electors across different electoral divisions and the variations from the average divisional enrolment.

Scope and Application

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, as evidenced by the gazette C2015G00918, concerns the Australian Electoral Commission's role in determining the number of enrolled electors in each federal electoral division across the states and territories of Australia. The Act applies to the entire Commonwealth of Australia, encompassing all federal electoral divisions in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The Act mandates the Electoral Commissioner to ascertain the number of electors enrolled in each division as of a specified date and to determine the average divisional enrolment along with the deviation of each division from this average. The act does not explicitly state exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but it does provide a comprehensive breakdown of enrolment numbers and their deviations from the average for each division. The application of the Act is extended through subordinate instruments, which would further detail the processes and mechanisms for conducting these assessments and ensuring the accuracy of the data provided.

Key Provisions

The legislation sets out the number of electors enrolled in each Division for each State and Territory as at 31 May 2015, as determined by the Electoral Commissioner (sections 1-8). For each State and the Australian Capital Territory, the legislation also determines the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each Division differs from the average divisional enrolment. The obligations and requirements imposed by the legislation include the need for the Electoral Commissioner to ascertain and determine the enrolment data for each Division and to set out this information in a schedule (section 58). The Commissioner must ensure that the enrolment data is accurate and up-to-date, and that the schedule is published in the Gazette. There are no specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breach outlined in this particular legislation. However, the data provided in the schedule may be used for various electoral purposes, such as determining the allocation of resources and the number of polling places needed in each Division. Inaccurate or incomplete enrolment data could potentially impact the fairness and effectiveness of the electoral process, and may result in legal challenges or other consequences.
