Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, enacted by the Australian Parliament, was introduced to regulate the conduct of electoral matters within Australia and to ensure a fair and democratic process for electing members to the Parliament. The Act established the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) to manage and oversee the electoral process, including the administration of voter enrolment and the conduct of elections. One of the key policy objectives of the Act is to maintain an accurate and up-to-date electoral roll, ensuring that all eligible citizens can participate in the electoral process. This objective is evident in the gazette issued by the Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers, under section 58 of the Act, which details the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 30 June 2021, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory. This information is crucial for ensuring equitable representation and the integrity of the electoral system.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission Number of Electors Enrolled in Each Division as at 30 June 2021 gazette, issued under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides information on the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as of 30 June 2021. This data pertains to each state and territory, detailing the enrolment numbers for individual divisions and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment within each jurisdiction. The information encompasses all federal electoral divisions in Australia, including those in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The gazette does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds that would limit its application to particular persons, entities, or types of conduct. However, the data is provided in accordance with the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which may inherently restrict its scope to matters concerning electoral processes and enrolments within the framework of federal elections. The gazette itself does not extend or restrict its application through subordinate instruments but serves as a statutory report on electoral enrolment statistics as mandated by the Act.

Key Provisions

Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates the Electoral Commissioner to determine and report the number of electors enrolled in each division for each State and Territory as at 30 June of each year. This report includes the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. The Electoral Commissioner, in this case Tom Rogers, has complied with this requirement by providing the enrolment numbers and deviations for each division across various states and territories, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The Act imposes several obligations on the Electoral Commissioner. These include ensuring accurate and timely collection of enrolment data, calculating the average divisional enrolment for each state and the Australian Capital Territory, and determining the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from this average. The Commissioner must then compile and present this information in a clear and organised manner, as demonstrated in the provided schedule. While the provided gazette does not explicitly detail offences, penalties, or consequences for non-compliance, breaches of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 can lead to various civil and criminal penalties. For instance, under Section 13A, individuals who wilfully make a false statement or omission in a document required by the Act can be liable for a penalty. Additionally, Section 13B outlines penalties for electoral offences, which can include fines and imprisonment. These sections underscore the importance of accuracy and integrity in electoral data management.
