Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has published the details of the number of electors enrolled in each Division across Australia as at 31 May 2021. This publication is pursuant to Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which was enacted to ensure that electoral rolls are accurately maintained and that the number of electors in each division is equitable. The AEC, under the authority of the Electoral Commissioner, provides these statistics to maintain transparency and uphold the integrity of the electoral process. The data includes the total number of enrolled electors in each division, the average divisional enrolment, and the percentage deviation from this average, thereby allowing stakeholders to understand the distribution of electors across different divisions and states. This information supports the policy objective of ensuring fair representation and adherence to electoral laws.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, determined the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division for every state and territory as of 31 May 2021. The Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers, has provided the enrolment figures for each division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The legislation applies to all states and territories of Australia, encompassing the geographic and jurisdictional reach of the Commonwealth. The data provided includes the total enrolment numbers and the average divisional enrolment figures for each jurisdiction, with no exclusions or exemptions mentioned in the provided text. The application of this Act may be extended or restricted through subordinate instruments, although such details are not specified in the text.

Key Provisions

The primary sections of the Australian Electoral Commission's gazette, C2021G00408, detail the number of electors enrolled in each Division across Australia as at 31 May 2021. This includes 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 example, in New South Wales, the Division of Banks had 106,873 enrolled electors, which is a 6.36% deviation from the average divisional enrolment (sections 1-8). The gazette also includes the average divisional enrolment for each State and Territory, calculated by dividing the total enrolments by the number of Divisions (sections 9-16). The Act imposes specific obligations on the Electoral Commissioner, including the responsibility to ascertain and publish the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at the date indicated. The Electoral Commissioner must also determine the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each Division differs from the average. These obligations ensure transparency and accuracy in the electoral enrolment figures, providing a basis for fair representation (section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918). There are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences mentioned in this gazette for breaching any provisions. However, any non-compliance with the electoral laws, which this gazette supports, could lead to legal consequences under the broader framework of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This could include potential civil or criminal penalties for actions such as voter fraud or electoral misconduct, although these are not detailed within the gazette itself.
