Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission has published details of the number of electors enrolled in each Division for every State and Territory as at 31 October, 2014, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This Act was enacted to provide for the conduct of elections for members of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia and to establish an Australian Electoral Commission. The data published includes the number of electors enrolled in each Division, the average divisional enrolment for each State and Territory, and the percentage deviation from the average. The Australian Electoral Commission, established by the Act, is responsible for the administration of federal elections and the maintenance of the electoral roll. This data provides an essential snapshot of the electoral landscape, crucial for ensuring that electoral divisions are as equitable as possible in terms of population.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's gazette C2014G01869, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides a comprehensive breakdown of the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as of 31 October 2014. This document applies to all Australian states and territories, detailing the enrolment numbers for each division and their 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, highlighting the distribution of electors across these regions. Each entry includes the enrolment figure for the division and the percentage deviation from the average enrolment for that state or territory. Notably, the gazette does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, applying uniformly to all divisions. The detailed figures provide essential information for electoral planning and representation, underpinning the democratic process in Australia.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has detailed the number of electors enrolled in each Division for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory as at 31 October 2014. This data, under s58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, includes the enrolment numbers for each Division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. For example, in New South Wales, the Division of Banks had an enrolment of 101,472 with a 0.22% deviation from the average, while in Victoria, the Division of Aston had an enrolment of 94,170 with a -7.72% deviation. The AEC has calculated these figures to provide a clear overview of electoral enrolment across the country. The Act imposes certain obligations on the AEC to ensure the accuracy and transparency of electoral enrolment data. Specifically, the AEC is required to ascertain the number of electors enrolled in each Division and determine the average divisional enrolment. Additionally, the Act mandates that the AEC must provide a detailed breakdown of how each Division's enrolment compares to the average. This ensures that stakeholders have access to up-to-date and precise information regarding electoral enrolments. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences mentioned in the provided text for breaches of the Act's provisions related to enrolment data. However, the accuracy and reliability of the electoral data are crucial for the integrity of the electoral process. Any failure to comply with the requirements of the Act could potentially lead to legal consequences under broader electoral laws, which may include fines or other penalties for misconduct or non-compliance with electoral regulations.
