[LINK] AEC Electoral Pocketbook 2010

[Sylvano]

The web page describes it as "Electoral Pocketbook 2011" but internal to
the document (1.7Mb pdf) it is referred to as "Electoral Pocketbook 2010"

It provides details to the recent (2010) federal election.

Electoral Pocketbook 2011
Updated: 27 May 2011

The Electoral Pocketbook provides a compilation of electoral data for
quick and easy access. The information contained in the Pocketbook is also
available throughout the website.


Foreword

It is my pleasure to introduce the 2010 Election Pocketbook. This book
provides a quick reference guide to the last federal election. It contains
useful information such as election results at the divisional, state and
national level, enrolment figures, data on formal and informal votes,
types of votes cast and election funding.

The 2010 federal election was delivered through the hard work and tireless
commitment of Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) staff located in our
national office, state offices and the divisional office network. During
the election our staff administered the logistics of putting in place
nearly 70 000 capable polling officials and more than 7 500 polling places
that allowed over 13 million people to cast their ballot. This Pocketbook
reflects the results of this effort and is a testament to the staff
involved throughout the election.

The Pocketbook also contains historical information about Australia’s
electoral system and processes, an explanation of counting votes and the
nomination process as well as information about redistributions and
referendums.

For further information regarding the Australian electoral system I
encourage readers to go to the AEC website at www.aec.gov.au. In addition,
the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Act
1984 and the Australian Constitution are comprehensive sources of
information about electoral and referendum processes.

I commend this Pocketbook to you and hope it provides a valuable resource
regarding the 2010 federal election. I strongly encourage readers to
complete the form on pages 212 and 213 if you would like to provide
feedback on this publication.
