We publish statistics each month showing how many people are enrolled in each Māori electorate, general electorate, local council district, and council voting area.

Enrolment statistics

We also publish statistics showing the number of people of Māori descent on the Māori roll and the general roll, broken down by electorate and age. 

Māori enrolment statistics

Check back on this page at the start of May for monthly figures on roll changes. 

A table will show roll changes and new enrolments for voters of Māori descent between 1 April and 6 August 2026, which is the deadline to change rolls for the 2026 General Election.

The number of electorates

The number of general and Māori electorates is calculated after each census by Stats NZ using population data from the Census and electoral roll data.

In 2024, Stats NZ calculated the number of electorates for the 2026 General Election. There will be 64 general electorates and seven Māori electorates.
