Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, enacted by the Australian Parliament, was introduced to establish the framework for the conduct of elections for members of the Commonwealth Parliament, including the enrolment of electors and the division of electoral areas. This Act ensures that elections are conducted in a fair, democratic, and accessible manner for all eligible citizens. Pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers, has ascertained the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 30 September 2022, and determined the average divisional enrolment, as well as the deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. The data provided includes the enrolment numbers and percentage deviations for divisions across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, providing a comprehensive overview of the electoral landscape across the nation.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's Number of Electors Enrolled in Each Division as at 30 September 2022, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides the number of electors enrolled in each division across Australia's states and territories as of the specified date. This data includes the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. The information applies to all divisions in Australia and is presented on a state and territory basis, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The data does not specify exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and it is presented without additional commentary or speculation. The Act's application is not extended or restricted through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

Pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Electoral Commissioner has determined the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 30 September 2022 for each state and territory, alongside the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation from the average. This data is presented in the attached schedule, which breaks down enrolments for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Each state and territory total is also provided, along with the national total enrolment. The Act imposes various obligations on the Electoral Commissioner, including the requirement to ascertain and publish the number of electors enrolled in each division. The Commissioner must also determine the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each division differs from the average. These obligations are aimed at ensuring transparency and accuracy in electoral enrolment data. Breaches of the obligations under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 may result in criminal and civil consequences. Under section 139 of the Act, a person who is wilfully blind to the nature of their conduct in relation to an offence is treated as having the fault required for the offence. Section 136 of the Act states that any person who makes a false statement or representation, or who knowingly or recklessly makes a false statement or representation, in any matter or proceeding under the Act is guilty of an offence and is liable to a penalty. The maximum penalty for these offences varies depending on the severity of the breach, with potential penalties including fines and imprisonment. These provisions are intended to deter and punish non-compliance with the Act's requirements.
