Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, under the authority vested in the Electoral Commissioner by Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has published the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as of 31 January 2018. This publication serves to provide a detailed snapshot of the electoral landscape, including the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation from the average for each division. This information is intended to facilitate transparency and assist in understanding the distribution of the electorate across the various divisions within each state and territory. The data is presented in a schedule, detailing the enrolment numbers and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each division in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's determination of the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at 31 January 2018 under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 applies to all states and territories of Australia. The document provides detailed enrolment figures for each electoral division within New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, alongside the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. Each entry in the schedule includes the division name, the number of enrolled electors, and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment, which is calculated for each state and territory. The average divisional enrolment figures are provided at the end of each state and territory's schedule, and a total enrolment figure for Australia is also included. The act does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds within the provided schedule. The application of the act may be extended or restricted through subordinate instruments, but this is not detailed in the provided schedule.

Key Provisions

The main sections of the document outline the number of electors enrolled in each division for various states and territories in Australia as of 31 January 2018, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. This information is provided for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates this ascertainment and publication of enrolment data by the Electoral Commissioner. The document lists the enrolment figures and percentage deviations for each division, providing a snapshot of electoral representation across the country. The obligations imposed by this Act primarily fall on the Electoral Commissioner, who is tasked with determining the number of electors in each division and calculating the average divisional enrolment. The Commissioner must also determine the extent to which each division's enrolment deviates from the average. This data is to be published to ensure transparency and to assist in the understanding of electoral representation across different regions. The Act ensures that this information is accurate and up-to-date, reflecting the enrolment status as of the specified date. While the document itself does not detail specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breach, it is issued under the authority of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. Breaches of the provisions of this Act, such as failing to accurately report enrolment figures or omitting necessary data, could potentially lead to legal repercussions. The Act provides the framework for electoral processes, and non-compliance could result in administrative or legal actions. However, the specific penalties for such breaches would be detailed within the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 itself, which may include fines or other civil or criminal consequences depending on the severity of the breach.
