New Zealand Electorate Boundary Review

Published: 21-Nov-2019

The Representation Commission released proposed electorate names and boundaries for the 2020 and 2023 general elections on Wednesday 20th November.

"The Representation Commission is the independent body that reviews and adjusts the boundaries and names of electorates after each population census and Māori Electoral Option.

Regularly adjusting the electorate boundaries makes sure each electorate has about the same number of people. This gives all New Zealanders equal representation in Parliament.

A key part of the process is to ensure the public can have their say on the proposed boundaries and electorate names."

Materials have been made available in each library for residents to review, and to provide information about how people can have their say. This material will be available until the end of public consultation, 24 January, 2020.

Proposed boundaries can also be found either online, or at Te Puni Kōkiri or Electoral Commission offices.
