Your electorate in New Zealand is the voting area where you live. 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. While each electorate has about the same number of people, the geographic size of each area may be different. New Zealand currently has 65 general electorates and seven Māori electorates. You can find your electorate by using your address on the Elections New Zealand website.
