Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has compiled a comprehensive schedule detailing the number of electors enrolled in each Division across various states and territories as of 31 March 2020. This document provides a breakdown of enrolment figures for each electoral division, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment within each state and territory. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that electoral boundaries are as equal as practicable in terms of the number of enrolled voters. By providing detailed enrolment data, the Act facilitates the ongoing review and adjustment of electoral boundaries to maintain equitable representation across the nation. This initiative underscores the commitment to fair and democratic electoral practices, ensuring that each citizen's vote carries equal weight.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's gazette, C2020G00310, pertains to the Commonwealth of Australia and provides an assessment of the number of enrolled electors in each federal electoral division as of 31 March 2020. The Act applies to persons who are enrolled electors within each division across all states and territories in Australia. The document specifies the enrolment numbers and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each division. The geographic reach of this Act is national, encompassing all federal electoral divisions in Australia, including those in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The document does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds. The application of the Act is not extended or restricted through subordinate instruments in this particular gazette.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has determined the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division in Australia as of 31 March 2020. This document provides a detailed breakdown of the enrolment numbers for each division in each state and territory, as well as the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation from this average. The electoral divisions covered include those in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Each division's enrolment number and its deviation from the average divisional enrolment are clearly listed to ensure transparency and accuracy in the electoral process. The obligations imposed by this Act primarily revolve around the accurate reporting and maintenance of electoral enrolment data. The Electoral Commissioner is tasked with determining the number of electors enrolled in each division and calculating the average divisional enrolment. Additionally, the Commissioner must ensure that the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average is accurately computed and reported. These obligations are critical for maintaining the integrity of the electoral process and ensuring that each division is fairly represented. Failure to comply with the requirements set forth in this Act could potentially lead to legal repercussions. While the document does not explicitly outline specific offences or penalties for non-compliance, breaches of electoral laws generally carry significant consequences. Under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, penalties for electoral offences can include substantial fines and, in some cases, imprisonment. The severity of penalties often depends on the nature and extent of the offence, with more severe breaches leading to harsher penalties. It is important for all parties involved in the electoral process to adhere strictly to the provisions of the Act to avoid any legal ramifications.
