Election 2026

The Electoral Body

Electorate seat tracker

Parliament is many things. Part of one of those things is a body of 71 electorate seats. Here is that body, made of each sitting MP’s face. They’ll update as 2026 Election results come in. Probably.

A figure of a person standing in front of Parliament House and the Beehive, made of 71 faces, one for each electorate, each showing that electorate’s MP before the election. The electorates run roughly north to south. Northland and part of Auckland make up the head. The rest of Auckland and the upper and central North Island make up the torso and arms. The lower North Island and the South Island make up the legs, down to Invercargill at the feet. New electorates with no sitting MP show a question mark. As results come in, a seat still counting gets a part ring in the leading party’s colour, filling as votes are counted. A seat that is called gets a ring in the winning party’s colour, a new MP’s face replaces the old one, and a seat too close to call gets a dashed white ring. Each face is a button for that electorate’s details. Use the arrow keys to move between faces, from the head to the feet.

    The body is organised roughly north to south, from the top of its head to its feet.

    About these results. We’re updating this from the Electoral Commission’s preliminary count through the night, as accurately as we can. Special votes come later, and official results are declared on 27 November: see electionresults.govt.nz.
