Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is mandated under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 to determine and publish the number of enrolled electors in each electoral division of Australia. This task is crucial in ensuring that the electoral system remains fair and representative. The legislation was enacted to address the need for transparency and accuracy in electoral enrolment figures, which are essential for the integrity of the electoral process. The AEC's role includes ascertaining the enrolment figures for each division and calculating the average enrolment across all divisions, as well as determining the extent to which each division's enrolment deviates from this average. This information is vital for the proper functioning of Australia's democratic processes, ensuring that each division has a fair representation that reflects the electorate's size and distribution.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission has established the enrolment numbers for each electoral division within Australia as of 30 April 2019, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This legislation applies to all states and territories within Australia, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The data provided includes the number of electors enrolled in each division, the average divisional enrolment, and the percentage deviation of each division from the average. This Act does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and it does not extend or restrict its application through subordinate instruments. The information presented in this Gazette provides a comprehensive overview of the electoral landscape across Australia, serving as a valuable resource for understanding the distribution of enrolled voters and their relative representation in each division.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission, under the authority of section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has provided a schedule detailing the number of electors enrolled in each Division across various states and territories as of 30 April 2019. This schedule includes the enrolment figures 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 106,396 with a deviation of -5.64% from the average, while the Division of Cunningham had an enrolment of 115,345 with a deviation of 2.28%. Similar data is provided for Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The Act imposes specific obligations on the Electoral Commissioner to determine and publish these enrolment figures. The Commissioner is tasked with calculating the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory, and determining the extent to which the enrolment in each Division deviates from this average. This information is intended to ensure transparency and fairness in the electoral process by providing a clear picture of enrolment numbers across different regions. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences mentioned in the provided text for breaches related to these enrolment figures. However, it is important to note that the accuracy and timely publication of such data are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the electoral process. Any failure to comply with the requirements set out in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 could potentially lead to legal repercussions or administrative actions. For specific details on penalties and consequences, reference to the full text of the Act would be necessary.
