Commonwealth Electoral Divisions developed by the ABS are an approximation of the official Commonwealth Electoral Divisions, developed by the Australian Electoral Commission, using one or more Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1). Each SA1 has been allocated once to a Commonwealth Electoral Division based on the largest population contribution. It should be noted that where a SA1 covers two or more Commonwealth Electoral Division, the SA1 can only be allocated to one electorate. For the 2016 ASGS, 150 Commonwealth Electoral Divisions have been defined to cover the whole of geographic Australia. These do not generally cross State and Territory borders but there are three exceptions. Norfolk Island is included in the Australia Capital Territory electorate of Canberra; Jervis Bay Territory is included in the Australian Capital Territory electorate of Fraser; and the Territories of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands are included in the Northern Territory electorate of Lingiari. |

Commonwealth Electoral Divisions (CED) are an ABS approximation of Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) electoral division boundaries. An Australian Electoral Commission electoral division boundary is an area legally prescribed for the purpose of returning one member to the House of Representatives, Australia's Federal Lower House of Parliament. Boundaries are based upon the Australian Electoral Commission electoral division boundaries current on Census Night 9 August 2016. Commonwealth Electoral Divisions may change as the Australian Electoral Commission revise their boundaries. Where the Australian Electoral Commission revise their boundaries, the Commonwealth Electoral Divisions will be updated on an annual basis in July in conjunction with updates of other Non ABS Structures. Further information about these regions can be found in the following publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 3 - Non ABS Structure, July 2016 (cat no. 1270.0.55.003). http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/mf/1270.0.55.003 |
