New Zealand electorates

An electorate or electoral district (Māori: [rohe pōti] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a geographical constituency used for electing members (MPs) to the New Zealand Parliament.^[1] The size of electorates depends on that all electorates have about the same population.

The 72 electorates are made up from 65 general and seven Māori electorates. The number of electorates increases with national population growth; the number was increased from 71 to 72 starting at the 2020 general election.
