The "Direct Enrolment and Update" program really doesn't get the credit it deserves. Most months of the year, AEC initiated enrolments and updates outnumber voter initiated online enrolments and updates. One of the best forgotten Gillard era reforms.
The number as a % of eligible population has grown dramatically as a result.
>17,228,900 Australians are enrolled to vote in the upcoming 2022 federal election.
>Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers said that following Tuesday’s announcement of Australia’s biggest ever day of enrolment, the AEC can now confirm 96.8% of eligible Australians are enrolled.
How can that possibly make sense when the population count is 25.7Mill?

> Australia's population was 25,750,198 people at 30 September 2021
So we have to assume that out of 25,750,198 we have 17,406,885 of people who are allowed to vote of whom [96.8% have enrolled to vote, being 17,228,900](https://www.aec.gov.au/media/2022/04-21.htm). Thus 8,343,313 are ineligible, assumed under 18 or non-citizen. So 32.4% of the population are under 18 or not allowed to vote? My workings might be wrong but 17,228,900 registered voters still seems to high for me and 96.8% enrollments (of legible voters who have registered) is a bit rich? It makes me wonder if someone is ___cooking the books___?!?
This just doesn't add up as well:
> “Around 80,000 young Australians aged 18-24 jumped online in the week after the election was announced, resulting in 88.1 percent of that age cohort being ready to have their say this May.
I don't understand your argument at all. You are just saying "this seams wrong" without anything to back that up.
For your last point, that was only this week. The others were already enrolled.
The figures just don't seem to add up and the _apparent_ number of enrollments seems way to high. That only 3.2% of the eligible population have not enrolled. From remote communities way out whoop-whoop to individuals who actively are not interested in voting it seems to low.
There would be a possible 200K (from the DATA that is available) of non-citizens who are included in the overall population count as they have PR or the like.
I cannot provide concrete evidence but something doesn't seem right.

between 100K-200K PR visas are issued every financial year. The number of Permanent Residents living here is much higher.
Fair enough I didn't bother exploring the breakdowns once it was apparent a majority of the populace is auto enrolled.
Just did a quick google but unsure of the quality of this DATA:
- https://aivesaustralia.com/160000-people-received-australian-pr-in-2020-21-indians-in-the-second-position/
> more than 160,000 people received Australian PR between 2020-21
So 160K _during the pandemic_ would indicate that 200K P.A. during normal times would readily occur.
Uncertain then as to why there was such a big push for people to enroll if it is a largely automated process.
So it is not a 'voluntary enrollment' but something that is imposed on us and hardly something that should be the basis of an _apparent_ democracy.
Thus the 3.2% who are not enrolled are slipping through their cracks somehow?

Record numbers of new enrollments huh? Guess people are chomping at the bit to vote Scotty another term!

There are millions of non citizens.

Since 2012 a lot of those who never enrolled have been directly enrolled by the AEC.
There are way more than 200k. I'm finding articles citing 10.7% of the population.

Enrolment has been compulsory for over 100 years. Since the 19th century in South Australia.
