List of New Zealand electorates

Electorates in New Zealand were initially created for election to the first parliament in 1853. Since then there have been numerous changes, perhaps the largest being in 1996 for the introduction of MMP.
Māori Electorates.
The first four Māori electorates were established for special elections in 1968, during the term of the fourth parliament. These four seats remained until the country's change to a mixed-member proportional system in 1996, when a large number of general electorate seats were changed as well.
Mining Electorates.
The goldmining electorates were created to represent the significant mining populations of the West Coast.
