Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has published the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division of the Australian Parliament as of 31 July 2019. This data includes information for each state and territory, detailing the enrolment numbers and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each division. The purpose of this data is to provide transparency regarding the distribution of enrolled voters across the various divisions, thereby facilitating a more equitable representation. The enactment of this data collection and publication is overseen by the Parliament of Australia, with the policy objective of ensuring fair and representative electoral processes across the nation.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has determined the number of electors enrolled in each Division within each state and territory as at 31 July 2019. This information is provided in the schedule accompanying the gazette and includes data on the enrolment numbers for each division, as well as the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The data is provided for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Each entry in the schedule specifies the enrolment number for the division and the percentage by which this number deviates from the average divisional enrolment. The total enrolment figures for each state and territory are also provided, along with the average divisional enrolment for each jurisdiction. The Act applies to all states and territories within the Commonwealth of Australia and provides a snapshot of electoral enrolments as at a specific date. There are no stated exclusions or exemptions within the provided text, and the application of the Act is not extended or restricted through subordinate instruments in the information given.

Key Provisions

Pursuant to Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Electoral Commissioner has determined the number of electors enrolled in each Division of every State and Territory as of 31 July 2019, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation of each Division from the average. For instance, in New South Wales, the Division of Banks had 107,057 enrolled electors, representing a -5.07% deviation from the average divisional enrolment. Similarly, for Victoria, the Division of Aston had 110,924 enrolled electors, a mere 0.26% above the average, while Queensland's Division of Blair had 114,410 enrolled electors, showing a 4.73% increase over the average. Western Australia’s Division of Pearce had the highest deviation at 17.05% above the average, with 121,131 enrolled electors. South Australia's Division of Boothby stood out with a 2.08% above average enrolment of 124,032, and Tasmania’s Division of Lyons had the highest positive deviation at 3.78% above average with 80,356 enrolled electors. The Australian Capital Territory’s Division of Bean had 104,967 enrolled electors, a 5.87% increase over the average, and the Northern Territory’s Division of Lingiari had 71,995 enrolled electors, showing a 2.60% increase over the average. The Act imposes specific obligations on the Electoral Commissioner to ascertain and report the number of enrolled electors in each Division. This includes calculating the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation for each Division from this average. The Commissioner must ensure that the data is accurate and up-to-date, reflecting the enrolment numbers as of the specified date. The Act also mandates that these determinations be made for all States and Territories, providing a comprehensive electoral enrolment overview. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences detailed in the text for breaches of the provisions under Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The text focuses primarily on the procedural aspects of determining and reporting electoral enrolment data rather than punitive measures for non-compliance. However, it is important to note that inaccuracies in electoral data could have broader implications for the integrity of the electoral process, potentially leading to legal scrutiny or administrative actions if discrepancies are found to be significant or systematic.
