Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has published data on the number of enrolled electors in each Division across various states and territories as of 30 September 2015. This data, provided by the Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers, includes the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each Division's enrolment from this average. The primary objective of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 is to establish a system of compulsory enrolment and secret ballot in the conduct of elections for the Parliament of Australia, ensuring fair and accurate representation of the electorate. The Australian Electoral Commission, operating under the authority of the Act, plays a crucial role in maintaining and updating electoral rolls, facilitating the democratic process.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has provided the schedule of the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at 30 September 2015 for every State and Territory, along with the average divisional enrolment and the extent of deviation from the average. The data applies to all divisions within Australia, encompassing states such as New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory, as well as the Northern Territory. The figures include the total number of enrolments and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This legislation does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and it does not extend or restrict application through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has determined and published the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division in each State and Territory as at 30 September 2015. The Commission has also calculated the average divisional enrolment for each State and the Australian Capital Territory, and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each Division differs from the average divisional enrolment. This data is presented in a schedule that lists each Division by name, the number of enrolments, and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for that State or Territory. The primary obligations imposed by the Act on the Australian Electoral Commission include the accurate and timely calculation and publication of the number of enrolled electors in each electoral division. This is essential for ensuring the fairness and transparency of the electoral process, as well as for providing the necessary information for the redistribution of electoral boundaries. The Commission must ensure that this data is precise and up-to-date, reflecting the most recent enrolment figures available. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Act could result in various legal consequences. While the Act itself does not explicitly state specific offences, penalties, or consequences for non-compliance, breaches of electoral laws generally can lead to civil or criminal penalties. For instance, under other sections of the Commonwealth Electoral Act, there are provisions for fines and imprisonment for offences such as providing false or misleading information during an electoral process. Additionally, the Commission may face legal challenges or sanctions if it is found to have acted negligently or in bad faith in its duties. In summary, the Act mandates the Australian Electoral Commission to calculate and publish the number of enrolled electors and the deviation from average divisional enrolments, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the electoral system. While the Act does not specify penalties for non-compliance, related electoral laws provide for fines and imprisonment for serious breaches, underscoring the importance of accurate and reliable electoral data.
