Template:Future election

Seventy of the one hundred and twenty members of the New Zealand House of Representatives elected at the New Zealand's 2008 general election will be from single member constituencies, an increase of one electorate seat from 2005. The initial composition of the 2005 Parliament gave the Labour and National parties each 31 constituencies, the Māori Party four and ACT, United Future and the Progressive Party one each.

The election will be held on Saturday, 8 November. Nominations for constituency candidates will close at noon on Wednesday, 14 October; until the final announcement of candidates on 15 October, this list remains subject to change.[1]
