Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, enacted by the Parliament of Australia, was introduced to provide for the conduct of elections for the Parliament of the Commonwealth, including the enrolment of electors, the conduct of elections, and the resolution of disputes. Pursuant to Section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Australian Electoral Commission has ascertained and set out the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at 31 October 2023, with the objective of providing transparency and ensuring the accuracy of electoral data for each state and territory.

Scope and Application

The document titled "AUSTRALIAN ELECTORAL COMMISSION NUMBER OF ELECTORS ENROLLED IN EACH DIVISION AS AT 31 OCTOBER 2023," gazetted under the authority of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides a comprehensive snapshot of the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division across Australia as of 31 October 2023. The information pertains to all states and territories, detailing the enrolment numbers for each division and comparing them to the average divisional enrolment. This data is instrumental for electoral processes and ensuring equitable representation across the country. The Act applies to all persons who are eligible to be enrolled to vote in Australian federal elections, and it encompasses all electoral divisions throughout Australia. The geographic reach of this Act is nationwide, covering all states, territories, and the Australian Capital Territory. The document does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds within the text provided. However, the Act itself may outline such provisions in its broader legislative framework. Subordinate instruments may further define or extend the application of the Act, but these are not detailed in the text.

Key Provisions

The legislation outlines the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division in Australia as at 31 October 2023, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. Each division's enrolment number is listed alongside the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment. The Electoral Commissioner, Tom Rogers, has determined these figures for each state and territory. For each state and the Australian Capital Territory, the average divisional enrolment is calculated, and the variation in enrolment numbers for each division is compared against this average. The Act imposes obligations on the Electoral Commissioner to accurately ascertain and report the number of enrolled electors in each division. This includes determining the average divisional enrolment and calculating the percentage deviation for each division. The report must be published in the Gazette and include detailed enrolment figures and comparisons for each division. Any breach of the requirements to accurately report enrolment data may result in civil or criminal consequences. While the specific offences, penalties, or consequences for non-compliance are not detailed in the provided text, under Australian law, inaccuracies or failure to report electoral data can lead to legal repercussions, including fines or other penalties as stipulated in relevant legislation. The exact penalties would depend on the nature and extent of the breach, and could potentially involve both civil and criminal sanctions.
