Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has published a gazette detailing the number of enrolled electors in each federal electoral division across Australia as at 31 May 2018. This gazette identifies the enrolment numbers and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each division, with the objective of providing a comprehensive overview of electoral enrolments. The enactment of this gazette serves to address the need for transparency and accuracy in electoral data, ensuring that the distribution of electors across divisions is clearly documented and accessible. This information is crucial for the proper functioning of democratic processes and for the Australian Electoral Commission in managing and overseeing federal elections.

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 electoral division for every State and Territory as of 31 May 2018. This data includes the total enrolment numbers for each division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The analysis covers all federal electoral divisions across Australia, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The average divisional enrolments for each region are also calculated to provide a comparative measure of enrolment distribution. The Act applies to all persons eligible to vote in federal elections within the specified electoral divisions, ensuring that electoral data is accurate and representative. There are no stated exclusions or exemptions within the scope of this Act, and it does not extend or restrict its application through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The document details the number of enrolled electors in each division of the Australian electoral system as of 31 May 2018, provided by the Australian Electoral Commission under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The enrolment numbers and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment are listed for each state and territory, with a summary total provided for Australia. Each entry includes the name of the division, the number of enrolled electors, and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment, calculated to provide a comparative measure of electoral distribution. The Australian Electoral Commission, under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, is responsible for maintaining and updating the electoral roll, determining the number of electors in each division, and calculating the average divisional enrolment. The Act imposes on the Electoral Commissioner the duty to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the electoral enrolment figures, to determine the average divisional enrolment, and to publish the enrolment figures for each division, including the percentage deviation from the average. The Act also requires the Electoral Commissioner to periodically review and update the enrolment figures to reflect changes in the electorate. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 may result in legal consequences. While the document itself does not detail specific offences or penalties, breaches of electoral laws can result in civil or criminal penalties under the Act. Civil penalties may include fines, while criminal penalties can include imprisonment, reflecting the seriousness with which electoral law is treated in Australia. The maximum penalties for electoral offences can vary depending on the specific breach and the jurisdiction, but they can include substantial fines and imprisonment terms.
