Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission has released a gazette, C2019G01005, providing a comprehensive overview of the electoral enrolment figures for each division in Australia as of 31 October 2019. This document was enacted pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, aiming to address the need for accurate and up-to-date information on electoral enrolments to ensure the integrity and fairness of electoral processes. The gazette lists the number of enrolled electors for each division in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory, alongside the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The Australian Electoral Commission, under the authority of the Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers, compiled this data to provide a clear picture of the enrolment landscape across the nation. The policy objective of this gazette is to ensure that electoral divisions are represented equitably in terms of the number of enrolled voters, thereby supporting the democratic process.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission's schedule, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, delineates the number of enrolled electors in each federal electoral division within the states and territories of Australia as of 31 October 2019. This document is applicable to all divisions across the Commonwealth, detailing the enrolment figures and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average divisional enrolment for each respective state and territory. The average divisional enrolment figures have been calculated to ensure equitable representation across the electorates. The schedule does not explicitly state any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but it serves as a comprehensive record for electoral purposes, potentially informing the redistribution of electoral boundaries and resources. The application of this act is primarily within the geographic boundaries of Australia, including all states, territories, and federal divisions, thereby encompassing the entire national electorate.

Key Provisions

The Australian Electoral Commission has determined the number of electors enrolled in each Division for each State and Territory as at 31 October 2019, under Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. This document provides the enrolment figures for each division and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each state and territory. The average divisional enrolment figures for each state and territory are also provided. The Act imposes certain obligations and requirements on the Australian Electoral Commission, including the duty to ascertain and set out the number of electors enrolled in each division. The Commission is also responsible for determining the average divisional enrolment and the extent to which the number of electors enrolled in each division differs from the average divisional enrolment. There are no specific offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences mentioned in the text for breach of the Act. However, failure to comply with the requirements of the Act may result in legal consequences. The maximum penalties for electoral offences are set out in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 and can include fines and imprisonment. For example, the maximum penalty for personation at an election is a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, or both. The maximum penalty for improper conduct at an election is a fine of up to $3,000 or imprisonment for up to six months, or both. It is important to note that the penalties for electoral offences can vary depending on the circumstances of the offence and the discretion of the court.
