Party lists in the 2011 New Zealand general election


This page provides the party lists for New Zealand's 2011 general election. Party lists determine the appointment of list MPs under the mixed-member proportional representation electoral system. The Electoral Commission issued a deadline of noon on 1 November for submitting party lists.

Successful parties

Parties are ordered according to their share of the vote.

National Party

The National Party released a party list of 75 candidates in early September. The list was revised when Allan Peachey, ranked 48th, withdrew due to ill health. Simon O'Connor, who replaced Peachey as candidate for the Tāmaki electorate, was then added to the list, albeit in a lower position than Peachey had held.

Labour Party

The Labour Party announced a party list of 70 candidates.
Damien O'Connor, List MP, and Lianne Dalziel, MP for Christchurch East, both declined a place on the list stating they only wanted to represent the electorate they held candidacy for. Ross Robertson has never held a list position since the introduction of MMP in and Louisa Wall was also not given a list position.

The Green Party, after announcing a preliminary list in April, announced a list of thirty people in late May.
