For the 2008 parliamentary election, for example, in the constituency of Te Tai Hauāuru, 32522 voters of Maori descent entered the electoral roll. Of these, 20110 (61.8%) voted for a party and 19,671 (60.5%) for one of the candidates. However, if one assumes the 93,948 Māori people who were recorded for the 2006 census, only an estimated 34% of the Māori population in the constituency entered the electoral roll. The turnout based on the number of inhabitants was therefore an estimated 21% at the time.
