Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was enacted to establish the framework for federal elections in Australia, addressing the need for a consistent and fair electoral process across the nation. The Act was introduced by the Parliament of Australia with the policy objective of ensuring that all eligible citizens have the right to vote and be represented in the federal parliament. The Act lays down the rules and procedures for the conduct of elections, including the establishment of electoral divisions, the qualifications for electors and candidates, and the methods for counting votes. This legislation is essential for maintaining the integrity and democratic principles of the Australian electoral system. The gazette "AUSTRALIAN ELECTORAL COMMISSION NUMBER OF ELECTORS ENROLLED IN EACH DIVISION AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2024" provides a snapshot of the enrolment statistics for each electoral division as of the specified date, facilitating the understanding of electoral demographics and the equitable distribution of electoral resources.

Scope and Application

The document "AUSTRALIAN ELECTORAL COMMISSION NUMBER OF ELECTORS ENROLLED IN EACH DIVISION AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2024" provides the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division for each state and territory in Australia as of 31 December 2024, in accordance with section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The Act applies to all states and territories of Australia, detailing the number of enrolled electors per division and their deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This document does not specify any exclusions or exemptions, applying uniformly across all divisions. The geographic reach of this Act is national, covering all federal electoral divisions. The data is presented in a tabular format for each state and territory, listing the division name, the number of enrolments, and the percentage deviation from the average enrolment for that state or territory. The Act does not extend or restrict application through subordinate instruments in this particular instance.

Key Provisions

The document outlines the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 31 December 2024, according to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (section 58). It provides detailed enrolment figures for each division in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The schedule includes the enrolment numbers, and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each division. The Act imposes several obligations and requirements on the parties involved, primarily centering around the accurate and timely collection and reporting of electoral enrolment data. The Acting Electoral Commissioner is responsible for ascertaining and determining the number of electors enrolled in each division as at a specified date, which in this case is 31 December 2024. The Commissioner is also required to calculate the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which each division's enrolment deviates from this average. This information is critical for ensuring fair representation and compliance with electoral laws. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 can result in various civil and criminal consequences. While specific offences and penalties are not detailed in the document, breaches of electoral laws generally carry significant penalties. These may include fines, imprisonment, or both, depending on the severity of the breach. The exact penalties would be stipulated in the relevant sections of the Act, which would need to be referenced for precise details. In summary, the document provides a comprehensive breakdown of electoral enrolment figures for various divisions across Australia as at 31 December 2024, highlighting the responsibilities of the Acting Electoral Commissioner and the potential consequences of non-compliance with electoral laws.
