Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was enacted to establish the legal framework for the conduct of elections for the Commonwealth Parliament of Australia. The Act was introduced to address the need for a unified set of electoral laws to govern federal elections, ensuring that the electoral process was fair, efficient, and consistent across the nation. The Act was enacted by the Australian Parliament, with the specific purpose of providing for the registration of electors, the conduct of elections, and the administration of electoral matters. This legislative framework ensures that the democratic process is upheld and that all eligible citizens have the opportunity to participate in the election of their representatives. The data provided in the Gazette is a statutory requirement under the Act, aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in the electoral process.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has published a detailed schedule of the number of electors enrolled in each division as of 28 February 2025, providing comprehensive data for each state and territory. This information is crucial for electoral representation and reflects the geographic reach of the legislation across the Commonwealth of Australia. The data specifies the enrolment figures for each division, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This publication ensures transparency and accuracy in the electoral process, 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 document does not specify any exclusions or thresholds within its scope, but it is instrumental in informing the public and relevant authorities about the distribution of electors, which is fundamental for electoral fairness and representation.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission's document, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Cth), provides an updated enrolment count for each electoral division in Australia as of 28 February 2025. This data is essential for ensuring that electoral representation is equitable across different regions. For each state and territory, the document lists the number of enrolled electors in each division, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This average is calculated to facilitate a balanced distribution of electoral power. The obligations imposed by this document primarily involve the Australian Electoral Commission ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the enrolment data. They must ascertain the number of electors in each division and calculate the average divisional enrolment, as well as the deviation of each division's enrolment from this average. This information is critical for maintaining the integrity of the electoral process, ensuring that each division has a fair representation in line with the population. Breaches of the obligations outlined in the document could have legal repercussions. However, this specific document does not explicitly state penalties or consequences for non-compliance. Typically, electoral laws are enforced through broader electoral legislation, which may include provisions for fines or other penalties for violations. It is essential to refer to the overarching electoral legislation to understand the full scope of potential consequences for non-compliance.
