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.
