History of New Zealand Elections
Electorate by Electorate Data
1905 to 1993
These excel files
contain electorate by electorate data for all New Zealand elections
between 1905 and 1993. They have been compiled over some years, and
should now be almost wholly free of errors. They include the totals, and both rounds,
of the two Second Ballot elections in 1908 and 1911.
Users should note,
however, that party labels for early elections were often fluid, and it
has been difficult to make party totals completely consistent with
the official data reported in the successive E9 and earlier official
results, and with the figures reported in Mackie and Rose's International Almanac of Electoral History. J. O. Wilson's New Zealand Parliamentary Record was used as a further source of data.
Thanks are due to the research assistants who worked on this: Philippa Miskelly, Jean Kite, Sam Martin, and Jason Byrnes.
The various worksheets contain more detailed information on the data.
Electorate by electorate data for MMP elections from 1996 onward are
available from the New Zealand Electoral Commission's website. The links to the pages are below.
