Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission Gazette (C2018G00632) was enacted to address the need for updated and precise data on the number of enrolled electors in each electoral division across Australia. This document, issued pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides the enrolment figures for each division as of 31 July 2018, and highlights the deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The Gazette is a crucial tool for ensuring electoral fairness and representation, as it assists in the apportionment of electoral resources and the delimitation of electoral boundaries. The data is ascertained by the Electoral Commissioner and serves as an official record of electoral enrolments, underpinning the democratic process in Australia.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has ascertained the number of electors enrolled in each Division for every State and Territory as of the specified date, and for each State and the Australian Capital Territory, the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each Division differs from the average divisional enrolment. This legislation applies to all States and Territories of Australia, providing a comprehensive overview of electoral enrolments across the nation. Each entry in the schedule includes the enrolment number for a specific division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This document serves as a record of electoral statistics as of 31 July 2018, and while it does not provide exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, it is integral for understanding electoral demographics and compliance with electoral laws.

Key Provisions

The primary sections of the legislation (C2018G00632) detail the electoral enrolment data for each division in Australia as of 31 July 2018. Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates the Australian Electoral Commission to ascertain the number of electors enrolled in each division, and to determine the average divisional enrolment. The schedule provided outlines the enrolment numbers for each division in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Additionally, it includes the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average divisional enrolment for the respective state or territory. The obligations imposed on the parties governed by this legislation primarily concern the accurate recording and reporting of electoral enrolment data. The Australian Electoral Commission is required to ascertain the number of electors enrolled in each division, compute the average divisional enrolment, and report the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from this average. This data must be presented in a clear and organised manner, as evidenced by the detailed schedule provided in the legislation. Any breaches of the obligations stipulated in this legislation could potentially lead to legal consequences. Although specific offences, penalties, or consequences are not detailed in the provided text, it is reasonable to infer that inaccuracies in the reported data could be subject to scrutiny and corrective action by the relevant electoral authorities. The implications of non-compliance might include legal challenges, corrections to the data, or administrative penalties, depending on the severity and nature of the breach. The precise penalties would likely be governed by the broader electoral laws and regulations in place at the time of the breach.
