As time approached September 1st, 1921, the deadline for the voting on the new administrative divisions was officially reached.
As expected by Arthur and the government, the widely endorsed administrative division design received over 79.4% support from the 4.87 million votes and was officially confirmed as the new administrative division design by the Australasian government.
Since the new administrative division design had been confirmed, the next important matter was to perfect the governance systems of the newly established Northern Australia and the Capital Territory, and to effectively implement the boundaries of each state and clearly define the ownership of land.
Among all the states in Australia, South Australia State and Southwest Wales were the two that changed the most.
These two states had more than half of their area removed and were faced with significant political reform.
