Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has compiled and gazetted the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 30 November 2025. The Act was enacted to establish the framework for the conduct of federal elections and electoral matters in Australia. The primary objective is to ensure a fair and democratic electoral process, reflecting the Commonwealth's commitment to representative government. The Australian Electoral Commission, acting under the authority of the Act, has determined the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory and calculated the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. This data provides an overview of the distribution of electors across various divisions, facilitating the monitoring and analysis of electoral demographics and adherence to equitable representation principles.

Scope and Application

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 governs the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division in Australia, as evidenced by the gazetted document detailing the enrolment numbers as at 30 November 2025. This Act applies to all persons who are eligible to vote in federal elections, as well as the electoral divisions themselves across all states and territories. The geographic reach of this legislation is national, spanning across six states, two territories, and the Australian Capital Territory. The document specifies the enrolment figures for each division, noting the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment within each state and territory. Notably, the document does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds in the enrolment process. It also does not extend or restrict the application of the Act through subordinate instruments, providing a comprehensive snapshot of electoral enrolments as per the stipulated date.

Key Provisions

Pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Australian Electoral Commission has ascertained and published the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at 30 November 2025. This publication provides detailed information on the enrolment numbers for each division across all states and territories, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. The data is presented in a clear and structured format, with each state and territory's divisions listed alongside their respective enrolment numbers and percentage deviations. The obligations imposed by the Act on the Australian Electoral Commission include the responsibility to ascertain the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at the specified date and to calculate the average divisional enrolment for each state and the Australian Capital Territory. The Commission must also determine the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each Division differs from the average divisional enrolment. This process ensures that the public has access to accurate and up-to-date information regarding electoral enrolments, which is crucial for the integrity and fairness of the electoral process. The Act does not explicitly outline specific offences, penalties, or civil and criminal consequences for breaches. However, the accuracy and timeliness of the enrolment data are critical for the administration of elections, and any failure to comply with the requirements of the Act could potentially undermine the electoral process. While there are no specific penalties mentioned in the text, any significant discrepancies or failures in the data could lead to investigations and corrective actions to ensure compliance with electoral laws. In summary, the Act mandates the Australian Electoral Commission to regularly publish detailed enrolment data for each electoral division, ensuring transparency and accuracy in the electoral process. The obligations focus on the timely and precise collection and publication of enrolment statistics, with the aim of maintaining the integrity of the electoral system.
