ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (27 June 2013).

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers): I have received this advice:

As at the most recent quarter (31 March 2013) the eligible population to be enrolled was estimated to be 1,198,855, with 1,111,264 actually enrolled.

This indicates that 87,591 people are currently not enrolled (AEC, 2013). This represents some 7 per cent of the estimated eligible population.
