Key Provisions

This legislation, Gazetted as C2020G00820, pertains to the determination of electoral enrolments for various divisions across Australia as of 30 September 2020, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The document provides detailed enrolment figures for each division within the states and territories, alongside the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation from this average. For instance, in New South Wales, the enrolment for the division of Banks is 106,578 with a -6.00% deviation, while for the division of Chifley, it is 115,443 with a 1.81% deviation.

The obligations imposed by the Act on the Electoral Commissioner include the accurate and timely collection and analysis of enrolment data, as well as the publication of this data in a clear and accessible format. The document ensures transparency and provides stakeholders with critical information regarding the distribution of electors across divisions. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences mentioned within the text of this legislation for non-compliance with the data reporting requirements. However, under the broader Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, there are provisions for penalties and legal consequences for various electoral offences, such as false statements, bribery, and other corrupt practices during elections.
