Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was enacted to establish the framework for the conduct of elections for the Commonwealth Parliament and to provide for the registration of electors. This Act was introduced to address the need for a standardised and organised electoral process across the nation. Enacted by the Australian Parliament, the policy objective of the Act is to ensure fair and accessible electoral participation by defining the electoral system, processes, and responsibilities of electoral administration. The Act sets out the requirements for the enrolment of electors, the conduct of elections, and the maintenance of electoral rolls, thereby ensuring the integrity and accessibility of the electoral process across the country.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has determined the number of electors enrolled in each division for the states of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory as at 30 April 2025. This data includes the enrolment numbers for each division, the average divisional enrolment for each state, and the percentage deviation from the average for each division. The Australian Electoral Commission is a Commonwealth entity responsible for the administration of federal elections, including the preparation of the electoral roll, conducting elections, and overseeing the compliance of electoral laws. This data serves to provide a transparent and accurate record of electoral enrolments across the nation, ensuring that the electoral process is conducted in a fair and representative manner. The Act applies to all enrolled electors within the divisions of the various states and territories, providing a clear overview of the distribution of enrolments, which is critical for the proportional representation of the electorate in federal parliament.

Key Provisions

The document, titled "AUSTRALIAN ELECTORAL COMMISSION NUMBER OF ELECTORS ENROLLED IN EACH DIVISION AS AT 30 APRIL 2025", details the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as of 30 April 2025. This document is issued under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which mandates the ascertainment and publication of the number of electors enrolled in each division. The Acting Electoral Commissioner, Jeff Pope, provides the enrolment numbers for each state and territory, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation from this average for each division. The document lists the enrolment figures for each division in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. For each division, the document provides the total number of enrolled electors and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This information is crucial for understanding the distribution of electors across different regions, which can impact electoral processes and representation. The obligations imposed by the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 on the Australian Electoral Commission include the regular updating and publication of electoral enrolment statistics. This ensures transparency and provides a basis for the review and adjustment of electoral boundaries. The Act mandates that these statistics be made available to the public, allowing for informed discussions on electoral reform and representation. While the document itself does not outline specific offences or penalties for breaches of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Act does provide for various offences related to electoral processes. For example, offences such as voter fraud, bribery, and other electoral offences can lead to criminal charges. Penalties for such offences can include fines and imprisonment. Additionally, the Act includes provisions for civil penalties for breaches related to campaign financing and other electoral activities. These penalties are designed to uphold the integrity of the electoral process and ensure fair and lawful elections.
