Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has published a gazette detailing the number of electors enrolled in each federal electoral division across Australia as of 31 January 2020. The primary objective of this Act is to ensure fair and accurate representation in the Australian Parliament by providing a basis for the allocation of seats in the House of Representatives based on population. The gazette provides the total number of enrolled electors in each division, the average divisional enrolment, and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. This information is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the electoral process and ensuring equitable representation for all Australians.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's data, as presented under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, pertains to the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division within Australia as of 31 January 2020. This information is compiled for each state and territory, providing a comprehensive view of the electoral landscape across the nation. The data encompasses the total enrolment numbers in each division, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The average divisional enrolment figures are calculated for each state and territory, with the overall average for Australia being 113,235. This data is instrumental in ensuring the equitable representation of the electorate and is used to inform the allocation of electoral resources and the redrawing of electoral boundaries. The information provided does not include any stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and the application of the data is consistent across all divisions within the respective jurisdictions.

Key Provisions

The legislation, C2020G00159, details the number of enrolled electors in each electoral division within the Australian states and territories as of 31 January 2020. The document also provides the average number of enrolled electors per division and the percentage deviation from this average for each division (s1). The main operative sections include the list of divisions and the enrolment figures, which are crucial for understanding the electoral landscape and the distribution of voters across different areas (s2). The obligations and requirements imposed by this legislation are primarily informational. The Australian Electoral Commission is tasked with determining and publishing the number of enrolled electors in each division, calculating the average divisional enrolment, and noting the extent to which each division's enrolment deviates from this average (s3). This information is vital for electoral planning, resource allocation, and ensuring that each division is fairly represented in the electoral process (s4). There are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences outlined in this specific legislation for failing to comply with the requirements. However, the accuracy and timeliness of the data provided are critical, as inaccuracies could potentially affect the integrity of the electoral process. The legislation itself does not detail specific penalties for non-compliance, but any breaches of the underlying electoral laws, such as the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, could result in legal consequences (s5). These could include fines, imprisonment, or other penalties as determined by relevant electoral laws (s6).
