Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, enacted by the Australian Parliament, was introduced to establish and regulate the conduct of electoral matters in Australia. This legislation aims to ensure the integrity of the electoral process by providing a framework for the conduct of elections and the enrolment of electors. Pursuant to section 58 of this Act, the Australian Electoral Commission, under the authority of the Acting Electoral Commissioner, Kath Gleeson, has determined the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division as of 31 December 2025. The data includes the enrolment numbers for each division across all states and territories, alongside the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment, thus ensuring transparency and aiding in the equitable representation of the electorate.

Scope and Application

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, under which this Gazette has been issued, applies to the entire Commonwealth of Australia and concerns the electoral processes and enrolment statistics for federal elections. The Act governs the enrolment of electors, the determination of electoral divisions, and the calculation of average divisional enrolments. The Gazette specifically pertains to the number of electors enrolled in each federal electoral division as of 31 December 2025, providing detailed statistics for each state and territory, including the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The Act does not explicitly state any exclusions or exemptions, but the scope of its application is implicitly limited to the enrolled electorate for federal elections. The Act's provisions may be extended or further detailed through subordinate instruments, such as regulations or guidelines issued by the Australian Electoral Commission.

Key Provisions

Pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Acting Electoral Commissioner, Kath Gleeson, has published the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 31 December 2025. The data is provided for each state and territory, including the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each division deviates from the average. The document provides a detailed breakdown of the enrolment figures for each division, highlighting the percentage deviation from the average enrolment for each state and territory. The Act imposes specific obligations on the Acting Electoral Commissioner, including the responsibility of determining and publishing the number of electors enrolled in each division by 31 December each year. The Commissioner must ensure that the enrolment data is accurate, comprehensive, and presented in a clear and accessible manner, as demonstrated in the provided schedule. The Commissioner’s role is critical in maintaining the integrity of the electoral process by providing transparent and up-to-date information on electoral enrolments. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences mentioned in the provided text for breaches related to the publication of enrolment figures. However, the accuracy and reliability of the data are paramount for the administration of elections. Any failure to comply with the requirements of section 58 could potentially undermine the electoral process and may lead to scrutiny or legal challenges regarding the validity of election outcomes. Ensuring the precise and timely publication of enrolment data is thus essential to uphold the integrity of the electoral system.
