Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission Number of Electors Enrolled in Each Division as at 31 May 2025, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides the number of electors enrolled in each division as at the specified date. This legislation was introduced to ensure accurate and up-to-date information on the number of electors in each division, thereby supporting the administration of elections and the integrity of the electoral process. The Australian Electoral Commission, as the enacting body, determined the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory, as well as the extent to which the number of electors in each division deviates from the average. The policy objective of this legislation is to maintain an accurate and current electoral roll, which is essential for the democratic process and the fair representation of the electorate.

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 division across Australia as of 31 May 2025. This gazette specifies 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. The figures provided include the total enrolment in each division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The geographic reach of this document is national, encompassing all states and territories within Australia. The data does not include any stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and no subordinate instruments extend or restrict its application. This document serves as an official record for electoral purposes, detailing the distribution of electors across electoral divisions in Australia.

Key Provisions

The main operative sections of this legislation detail the number of electors enrolled in each division within Australian states and territories as of 31 May 2025. This information is provided in a gazette (s58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918) and includes the enrolment numbers for each division along with the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. For instance, in New South Wales, the division of Banks had 119,253 enrolled electors, representing a -3.78% deviation from the average. The obligations imposed by the Act include the responsibility of the Australian Electoral Commission to ascertain and publish the number of electors enrolled in each division. The Acting Electoral Commissioner, in this case, Jeff Pope, has determined these figures and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. This process ensures transparency and provides the public with accurate data regarding electoral enrolment. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences for breach mentioned in this legislation. The primary purpose is to report and publish enrolment statistics rather than enforce compliance with specific electoral laws. However, any misuse or misrepresentation of these enrolment figures could potentially lead to legal scrutiny under broader electoral laws and regulations.
