Your electorate is the voting area you live in. Every place in New Zealand is covered by both a general electorate and a Māori electorate. The voters in each electorate choose a member of Parliament to represent them.
Electorate changes
The Representation Commission has made changes to New Zealand’s parliamentary electorates. This includes changes to the boundaries and, in some cases, the names of electorates. The new electorate boundaries will apply for the 2026 General Election.
You can look up your new electorate here:
