Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission Gazette, C2020G00038, was enacted to provide an updated and accurate count of electors enrolled in each division across Australia as of 31 December 2019, under the authority of section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This legislation addresses the need for precise and current electoral data to ensure fair and effective democratic processes. The enacting body responsible for this gazette is the Australian Electoral Commission, which operates under the oversight of the Australian Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers, as stated in the document. The policy objective of this gazette is to furnish detailed and accurate electoral enrolment figures for each division in Australia, facilitating the equitable representation of all citizens in federal elections.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has determined the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across various states and territories as at 31 December 2019. This includes New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The data presented details the enrolment numbers for each division along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The purpose of this schedule is to provide a comprehensive overview of electoral enrolment distribution across the nation, highlighting both the absolute numbers and relative deviations from the average. This information is crucial for understanding the electoral landscape and ensuring equitable representation in the federal parliament. There are no stated exclusions or exemptions within this schedule, as it aims to cover all electoral divisions comprehensively. Any further regulation or specific application of this data would typically be addressed through subordinate instruments or specific electoral legislation.

Key Provisions

The primary sections of the document are the schedules for each State and Territory, which list the number of electors enrolled in each division as of 31 December 2019, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment (s58). The schedules provide a detailed breakdown of the enrolment numbers and their deviation from the average for each division within New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Each schedule includes a total enrolment figure and the average divisional enrolment for the respective state or territory. The obligations imposed by the Act include the requirement for the Electoral Commissioner to ascertain and determine the number of electors enrolled in each division and to calculate the average divisional enrolment, as well as the extent to which the number of electors in each division deviates from the average (s58). This involves collecting and compiling enrolment data for each division within the specified states and territories and presenting this data in a clear and accessible format. The document does not explicitly outline any offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences for breaches of the Act. However, it is likely that any failure to comply with the requirements to ascertain and report on enrolment numbers would be subject to the relevant provisions of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 or other relevant legislation, which could include fines or other penalties for non-compliance. The specific consequences would depend on the nature and severity of the breach, as well as any applicable laws and regulations.
