Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was enacted to provide for the conduct of elections for members of the Parliament of Australia. It was introduced to address the need for a comprehensive and uniform legal framework governing federal elections. The Act was enacted by the Parliament of Australia, with the objective of ensuring the integrity and fairness of the electoral process. The Act outlines the rules and procedures for the registration of electors, the conduct of elections, and the resolution of disputes. This particular gazette provides the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 30 November 2021, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, and includes the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each division differs from the average divisional enrolment.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has established the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 30 November 2021. This report applies to all electoral divisions across the various states and territories of Australia, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. It provides specific data on the number of enrolled electors in each division, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. Notably, the report does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, nor does it extend or restrict its application through subordinate instruments. The data provided is purely factual and is intended to offer a comprehensive view of the electoral landscape as of the specified date.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission has established the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 30 November 2021, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This document outlines the enrolment numbers for each state and territory, the average divisional enrolment, and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each division differs from the average divisional enrolment. The Electoral Commissioner, TOM ROGERS, has ascertained this information and presented it in a schedule. The Act imposes specific obligations on the Electoral Commissioner to determine the number of electors enrolled in each division and the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory. The Commissioner must also determine the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average divisional enrolment. These obligations are to be carried out accurately and transparently to ensure the integrity of the electoral process. The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 does not explicitly outline offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences for breaches related to the determination of enrolment numbers. However, any inaccuracies or discrepancies in the enrolment data could potentially lead to issues in the electoral process, including challenges to election results or legal disputes over representation. The accuracy and integrity of the enrolment data are crucial to maintaining public trust in the electoral system. Therefore, while specific penalties are not detailed, the importance of compliance with the Act's requirements is paramount.
