Is your electorate changing?
The Representation Commission is adjusting the electorate boundaries for the next general election. These changes are all about balance, and make sure each electorate has about the same number of people. That way, all New Zealanders are equally represented in Parliament. If we move an electorate boundary, you could end up in a different electorate to the one you’re in now. So we show you what we’re proposing before any changes are made and give you the chance to share your thoughts. Have your say at vote.nz
