Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was enacted to establish and regulate the electoral system in Australia, ensuring fair and democratic processes for the election of members to the Parliament of Australia. The Act was introduced to address the need for a unified and consistent electoral framework across the nation, replacing various state-based electoral laws with a national standard. Enacted by the Australian Parliament, the Act outlines the fundamental principles and rules governing elections, including the registration of electors, the conduct of elections, and the representation of the people in the Parliament. The policy objective of the Act is to provide a transparent, efficient, and accessible electoral system that upholds the democratic rights of Australian citizens and ensures the integrity of the electoral process. The Act provides the legal foundation for the Australian Electoral Commission, which is responsible for the administration of elections and the maintenance of electoral rolls.

Scope and Application

This document pertains to the Australian Electoral Commission's determination of the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 31 August 2025, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. It applies to all states and territories within the Commonwealth of Australia, detailing the number of enrolled electors in each division, the average divisional enrolment, and the percentage deviation from this average for each division. This includes divisions in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The data provided does not include any stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and the application of the Act is not extended or restricted through subordinate instruments. The geographic and jurisdictional reach of this document is national, covering all electoral divisions across Australia.

Key Provisions

Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates that the Australian Electoral Commission ascertain and publish the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division as at 31 August each year. The document, titled "AUSTRALIAN ELECTORAL COMMISSION NUMBER OF ELECTORS ENROLLED IN EACH DIVISION AS AT 31 AUGUST 2025", specifies the number of electors in each division for each state and territory as of 31 August 2025, as determined by Acting Electoral Commissioner Jeff Pope. Additionally, the document includes calculations of the average divisional enrolment for each state and the Australian Capital Territory, as well as the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from this average. The Act imposes several obligations on the Australian Electoral Commission. Primarily, it requires the Commission to accurately determine the number of electors in each division and to publish this information. The Commission must also calculate the average divisional enrolment for each state and the Australian Capital Territory and determine the extent to which each division's enrolment deviates from this average. This information is essential for ensuring fair representation and adherence to electoral laws. Breaches of the requirements set out in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 can lead to both civil and criminal consequences. While specific offences and penalties are not detailed in the provided document, the Act generally provides for fines and imprisonment for violations related to electoral processes. For example, section 138 of the Act stipulates that any person who wilfully makes a false statement in an electoral enrolment form can be fined up to $5,000 or imprisoned for up to one year, or both. Additionally, section 241 outlines penalties for offences related to the conduct of elections, which can include fines of up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, or both, for serious breaches. These provisions underscore the importance of accuracy and integrity in electoral processes.
