How to read this map
General electorates are drawn to have about the same general electoral population (the Representation Commission's measure), so the number of people living in them varies a little, but land area varies enormously. Dense urban electorates in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch are tiny, while rural South Island and Northland electorates cover thousands of square kilometres. Switch to Māori electorates to see the seven seats that overlay the whole country: everyone living there is counted in residents, but only people on the Māori roll vote in them, which the enrolment figures show.
People and votes shows Stats NZ's estimated residents and the Electoral Commission's 2023 enrolment, votes cast and turnout. Election night shows the electorates as they are called on 7 November. Build a result lets you pick the winner of each electorate and counts the seats in Parliament, using the same Sainte-Laguë calculation as our overhang explainer and the poll average for the party vote. The 2023 winner and 2023 party vote layers show how each electorate voted in 2023. The 2025 boundary review changed many electorates, so these layers use the 2023 result for the electorate of the same name and are hatched where there is no match. Treat them as a guide to the area, not a forecast: boundaries have moved and polls show a different picture from 2023.
