Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was enacted to establish the framework for federal elections and electoral matters in Australia. It was introduced to address the need for a comprehensive legal basis governing the electoral process, including the administration of elections, the rights and responsibilities of electors, and the structure of electoral divisions. The Act was passed by the Australian Parliament with the policy objective of ensuring a fair, transparent, and accessible electoral system that reflects the democratic principles of the nation. This legislation remains fundamental in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of Australia's electoral processes.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission Number of Electors Enrolled in Each Division as at 31 March 2025 applies to the citizens of Australia who are enrolled to vote in federal elections, covering all divisions in each state and territory of Australia. The Act sets out the number of electors enrolled in each division as at the specified date and calculates the average divisional enrolment along with the extent of deviation from this average for each division. This information is mandated under Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The geographic reach of this document includes all states and territories within Australia: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Each state and territory is represented by a list of divisions, their respective enrolment numbers, and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The document does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds for the enrolment data presented. However, it does provide a comprehensive breakdown of enrolment statistics across all divisions, ensuring transparency in the electoral process. The application of this Act is straightforward and does not extend or restrict through subordinate instruments, relying solely on the primary legislation and the data collected as at the specified date.

Key Provisions

Pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Acting Electoral Commissioner has determined the number of electors enrolled in each division as at 31 March 2025. The schedule outlines the enrolment figures for each division in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. For New South Wales, the average divisional enrolment is 123,559, with various divisions showing deviations ranging from -7.17% to +6.88%. Victoria's average is 119,978, with deviations from -6.26% to +7.01%. Queensland's average is 124,289, with deviations from -12.28% to +14.54%. Western Australia's average is 117,958, with deviations from -4.67% to +3.88%. South Australia's average is 129,938, with deviations from -5.17% to +6.29%. Tasmania's average is 82,032, with deviations from -9.68% to +7.90%. The Australian Capital Territory's average is 107,229, with deviations from -4.12% to +5.98%. Lastly, the Northern Territory's average is 77,918, with deviations from -1.26% to +1.26%. These figures provide a comprehensive overview of electoral enrolment across different regions as of the specified date. The Act imposes several obligations on the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), primarily concerning the accurate and timely determination of electoral enrolment figures for each division. This involves collecting data, calculating average divisional enrolments, and determining the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. The AEC must ensure that these calculations are precise and that the results are published in an accessible format, as evidenced by the detailed schedule provided. Additionally, the Acting Electoral Commissioner, in this case, is responsible for verifying and certifying these figures, ensuring they meet the legislative requirements. Breaching the obligations set out in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 can lead to various consequences. While specific offences and penalties are not detailed in the provided text, breaches of electoral laws generally result in civil or criminal penalties. Civil penalties may include fines, while criminal penalties can involve imprisonment. The severity of these penalties can depend on the nature and extent of the breach, as well as any precedents set by previous cases. The Act itself, or related legislation, would outline the specific penalties applicable to different types of breaches, ensuring that those responsible for electoral administration adhere to the required standards.
