Commonwealth Electoral Divisions (CED) are an ABS Mesh Block approximation of Australian Electoral Commission (AEC)<\/a> federal electoral divisions. AEC electoral divisions are areas legally prescribed for the purpose of returning members to the House of Representatives. ABS Commonwealth Electoral Divisions are based on the AEC electoral division boundaries available prior to publication. Commonwealth Electoral Divisions may change as the AEC revise their boundaries. When this occurs, Commonwealth Electoral Divisions will be updated annually, together with updates to other Non ABS Structures. ABS approximations of administrative boundaries do not match official legal boundaries exactly and should only be used for statistical purposes.
