{{Politics of New Zealand}}
In [[New Zealand]], an '''electorate''' is a [[constituency|voting district]] for [[New Zealand Parliament|Parliamentary]] elections. They are sometimes informally called '''seats'''. Historically, all Members of Parliament were directly chosen for office by the voters of an electorate. In [[New Zealand general election 2008|2008]] under the [[Electoral system of New Zealand|MMP electoral system]], 70 of the usually 120 seats in Parliament will be filled by electorate members, with the remainder being filled from [[party list]]s in order to achieve [[proportional representation]] (there were 69 electorate seats in [[New Zealand general election 2005|2005]]).
==Distribution==
Originally, electorates were drawn up based on political and social links, with little consideration for differences in population. Each electorate was allocated a different number of MPs (up to three) in order to balance population differences, but this was only partly successful. Eventually, a new system was introduced — each electorate would elect one MP, and boundaries would be drawn based on population. However, a special [[country quota]] meant that rural seats were allowed to contain fewer people than urban seats, preserving an inequality (and over-representing farmers). The quota persisted until [[1945]].
Today, electorate boundaries are determined by the Representation Commission. The Commission consists of:
*Four government officials — the Government Statistician, the Surveyor-General, the Chief Electoral Officer, and the Chairperson of the Local Government Commission.
*A representative of the governing party or coalition, and a representative of the opposition block.
*A chairperson (often a judge) nominated by the other members, with the exception of Chairperson of the Local Government Commission.
Boundaries are reviewed after each [[New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings|New Zealand Census]], which occurs every five years. The [[South Island]] is guaranteed to have 16 general seats, with the remainder of voters ([[North Island]] and [[Māori]]) being divided into electorates of the same population as the South Island ones. Electorates may vary by 5% of the average population size. This has led to the number of list seats in Parliament to decline as the population is experiencing 'northern drift' (i.e. the population of the North Island, especially around [[Auckland]], is growing faster than that of the South Island).
In a continuation of 'northern drift', the North Island will get an extra electoral seat for the 2008 general election.<ref name="ExtraSeat08">{{cite news| url=http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/latest/200702011103/north_island_to_get_additional_electoral_seat_in_2008 |title=North Island to get additional electoral seat in 2008 |publisher=Radio New Zealand |accessdate=2007-02-01 |date=[[2007-02-01]]}}</ref> The need for an extra seat was determined from the results of the 2006 Census. The extra seat will bring the total number of electoral seats to 70, and reduce the number of list seats to 50.<ref name="ExtraSeat08"/> Although the addition of another Maori seat was considered likely, their number will remain unchanged at seven.<ref name="ExtraSeat08"/><ref name="MaoriSeatLikely">{{cite news| url=http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/488120/975197 |title=Another Maori seat likely |publisher=tvnz.co.nz |accessdate=2007-02-01 |date=[[2007-02-01]]}}</ref>
The [[48th New Zealand Parliament|Parliament]] elected in [[New Zealand general election 2005|2005]] had an extra member, ie 121 rather than 120 members, an [[overhang]] caused by the [[Māori Party]] getting more electorate seats than they were entitled to for their proportion of the Party vote under MMP.
==Special electorates==
For the qualifications required to vote, which were gradually extended, see [[History of voting in New Zealand]].
Over the years, there have been two types of "special" electorates created for a particular community. The first were special goldminers' electorates, created for the benefit of participants in the [[Central Otago Gold Rush|Otago Goldrush]] — goldminers did not usually meet the residency and property requirements in the electorate they were currently prospecting in, but were numerous enough to want political representation. These electorates, of which only two were created, did not last long (from 1863 to 1870).
Much more durable have been the [[Māori seats|Māori electorates]], created in 1868 to give separate representation to [[Māori]] citizens. Although originally intended to be temporary, they came to function as [[reserved political positions|reserved positions]] for Māori, ensuring that there would always be a Māori voice in Parliament. Until 1996 the number of Māori electorates was fixed at four, significantly under-representing Māori in Parliament. However the introduction of [[Mixed Member Proportional|MMP]] allowed for the seat number to change with the numbers in the Māori population who choose to go on the Māori rather than the general roll.
