Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission Gazette (C2020G00520) was enacted to address the need for up-to-date and accurate electoral enrolment data for each division in Australia. The Australian Electoral Commission, acting pursuant to Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has provided a comprehensive schedule detailing the number of electors enrolled in each division for each state and territory as at 30 June 2020. The policy objective of this gazette is to ensure that electoral divisions are accurately represented and to provide a basis for any necessary adjustments to electoral boundaries. This document serves as an official record of enrolment numbers and deviations from the average divisional enrolment, ensuring the integrity and fairness of the electoral process across the nation.

Scope and Application

The document C2020G00520, issued by the Australian Electoral Commission under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides an overview of the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as of 30 June 2020. The information is presented for each state and territory, detailing the enrolment figures for each division along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The act applies to the whole of Australia, covering all states and territories. The document does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds. However, the application of the act may be extended or restricted through subordinate instruments. The document serves to inform the public and relevant authorities of the current electoral enrolment data, which is crucial for the administration of federal elections and the fair representation of all Australians.

Key Provisions

This piece of legislation, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides a detailed schedule of the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as of 30 June 2020. Section 58 mandates the Electoral Commissioner to ascertain and publish this information, including the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each division from this average. For instance, in New South Wales, the division of Banks had 106,764 enrolled electors, which was 5.62% below the average, while the division of Cunningham had 115,422 enrolled electors, which was 2.02% above the average. This data is provided for all states and territories, including Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The Act imposes several obligations on the Electoral Commissioner, primarily to accurately determine and publish the enrolment figures for each division. This involves not only counting the total number of enrolled electors but also calculating the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation for each division. This information is crucial for ensuring the fairness and integrity of electoral processes by providing a transparent and detailed snapshot of electoral demographics. Furthermore, the Act ensures that this data is made publicly available, thereby enhancing the transparency and accountability of the electoral system. Failure to comply with the requirements set out in the Act could lead to various civil or administrative consequences, although specific penalties are not detailed in this excerpt. Generally, breaches of electoral laws can result in significant consequences, including fines, imprisonment, or disqualification from voting or standing for office. These penalties are designed to enforce compliance and maintain the integrity of the electoral process. While the specific penalties for this particular piece of legislation are not outlined here, they would typically align with the broader framework of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which includes provisions for substantial fines and potential imprisonment for serious breaches.
