Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission Number of Electors Enrolled in Each Division as at 31 July 2022, published under the authority of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides an official count of the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division as of the specified date. This data was enacted to ensure transparency and accuracy in electoral processes, enabling better representation and participation in federal elections. The report is produced by the Electoral Commissioner, in this case, Tom Rogers, and highlights the number of enrolled electors for each division along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The policy objective of this Act is to maintain a fair and accurate electoral roll, which is fundamental to the democratic process in Australia.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission Number of Electors Enrolled in Each Division as at 31 July 2022 Act pertains to the enumeration and evaluation of the number of electors enrolled in each federal electoral division across Australia as of the specified date. This Act applies to the various divisions in each state and territory, detailing the enrolment figures and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The Act operates under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, with the Electoral Commissioner, in this case, Tom Rogers, responsible for determining these figures. The geographic reach of this Act encompasses all states and territories in Australia, providing a comprehensive overview of electoral enrolment across the nation. The data provided includes detailed enrolment numbers for each division, alongside the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory. There are no stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds within this Act; it presents a straightforward numerical account of electoral enrolments. The Act does not extend or restrict its application through subordinate instruments, as it is a specific enumeration act without further legislative stipulations.

Key Provisions

Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 mandates the Electoral Commissioner to determine and publish the number of electors enrolled in each division for every state and territory as of a specified date. This provision ensures transparency and provides the public with accurate electoral data. The document in question, Gazette C2022G00726, presents the number of enrolled electors in each division as at 31 July 2022, alongside the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory. This information is crucial for maintaining fair and representative electoral processes. The obligations under this Act primarily rest with the Electoral Commissioner, who is tasked with accurately ascertaining and publishing the number of enrolled electors. The Commissioner must ensure that this data is precise and reflects the current enrolment status as of the date specified. This requirement is essential for upholding the integrity of the electoral system and ensuring that all electoral divisions are equitably represented. Breach of the obligations under this Act can lead to various consequences. While specific offences and penalties are not detailed within the document, non-compliance with electoral laws generally can result in administrative penalties, legal challenges, and potential disenfranchisement of voters. In severe cases, there may be criminal charges and penalties imposed, which could include fines or imprisonment. The accuracy and timeliness of the published data are crucial to avoid any legal ramifications and to ensure the smooth functioning of the electoral process.
