This dataset presents the projected enrolled population at 22 August 2020 for the Northern Territory (NT) by Legislative Assembly (LA) division areas and 2016 Australian Statistical Geography Standards (ASGS) Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1). Projected elector numbers are prepared by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) according to assumptions reflecting prevailing trends agreed to by the Northern Territory Electoral Commission. This projection is indicative of future population trends and is not official ABS population statistics.
In the instance where an SA1 is divided between two or more LA divisions, the SA1 index will appear on multiple rows in the file. An individual row in the file will represent elector numbers for a whole or partial SA1 as it relates to any given LA division boundary.
For more information please visit the Northern Territory Government Open Data Portal and read the ABS Projection Assumptions Document.
Please note:
- Members of the Legislative Assembly that reside outside their electoral division are not represented in this dataset.
