INTRODUCTION
This document shows results for National, Labour, Greens, NZ First, TOP, Maori Party and ACT for the
country, by region and area and for each of the 71 electorates. Generally, each page has the electorates
ranked in order from best to worst for that particular criterion.
Electorates have been grouped into the five National Party Regions (plus a Maori Region) and also have
been grouped into Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Provincial, and Rural areas so results can be
compared for these groupings.
Parties have also been grouped together for bloc analysis. The following definitions have been used:
R = Right = National + ACT
C = Centre = NZ First + Maori Party + TOP
L = Left = Labour + Greens
R L = Gap between votes for the right and the left parties
Right parties are those who committed to a National-led Government.
Centre parties are those who said they could support either National or Labour, and were not ruled out by
either.
Left parties are those who generally would not support a National-led Government.
Inquiries or requests for further information are welcome.
