Current enrolment quota

Updated: 28 April 2015

In accordance with section 65 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Acting Electoral Commissioner has determined the current enrolment quota for the purposes of the redistribution of the ACT to be 134 812.

The determination of the current enrolment quota for the redistribution of the ACT was based on enrolment numbers as at 1 December 2014, which is the date the redistribution commenced.

The quota was calculated by dividing the number of electors on the electoral roll in the ACT on the day the redistribution commences by the number of members to which the ACT is entitled.
