Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was enacted to provide for the conduct of elections for the Commonwealth Parliament and for related matters. This legislation was introduced to address the need for a structured and organised electoral process to ensure fair and democratic elections in Australia. The Act is administered by the Australian Electoral Commission, and its policy objective is to facilitate the democratic process by ensuring that all eligible citizens have the opportunity to participate in elections, and that the electoral process is conducted in a fair, efficient, and transparent manner. This gazette, issued under the authority of the Act, provides the enrolment numbers for electors in each division as at 31 December 2021, highlighting the importance of accurate and up-to-date electoral information.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission Number of Electors Enrolled in Each Division as at 31 December 2021 provides a detailed report on the number of enrolled electors in each electoral division across Australia as of 31 December 2021, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This report applies to all enrolled electors in each division of the Commonwealth of Australia, encompassing all states and territories, and details the number of electors in each division as well as the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average divisional enrolment for the respective state or territory. The report is geographically comprehensive, covering all divisions in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. There are no exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds specified within this report; it provides a straightforward enumeration of enrolled electors and their distribution relative to the average. The application of this report is direct, without the need for extension or restriction through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The key operative sections of the Australian Electoral Commission's document provide a detailed account of the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 31 December 2021, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each State and Territory. These sections include New South Wales (s58), Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Each section lists the enrolment numbers for individual divisions and the overall total for that state or territory, as well as the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation for each division. The Act imposes several obligations and requirements on the Australian Electoral Commission. Firstly, it mandates the collection and reporting of enrolment data for each division within the specified states and territories. Secondly, it requires the determination of the average divisional enrolment and the calculation of the percentage deviation from the average for each division. This data is to be presented in a clear and accessible manner, as demonstrated in the detailed tables provided in the document. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences for breach outlined within the document itself. However, the underlying legislation, the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, may impose sanctions for failure to comply with electoral laws and regulations. Such breaches may result in civil or criminal penalties, depending on the severity of the offence. The maximum penalties for electoral offences can vary, with potential fines and imprisonment terms outlined in the relevant sections of the Act. It is important to note that the primary purpose of this document is to provide accurate and up-to-date enrolment data for the given time period, rather than to outline specific penalties for non-compliance.
