Party vote distribution

Dunedin is an electorate to theNew Zealand House of Representatives. It was created for the2020 election.

The Dunedin electorate consists of the central, north and western suburbs ofDunedin, theOtago Peninsula communities ofHarington Point,Otakou,Harwood,Portobello,Broad Bay,Company Bay,Pukehiki,Macandrew Bay,Waverley,Shiel Hill andOcean Grove, and the towns north of the city includingPort Chalmers,Aramoana,Pūrākaunui,Waitati,Evansdale,Warrington,Seacliff,Karitane with its northern boundary north ofWaikouaiti. The urban and suburban core covers theCBD,Dunedin North,City Rise,North East Valley,Pine Hill,Leith Valley,Maori Hill,Wakari,Halfway Bush,Brockville,Roslyn,Kaikorai Valley,Mornington andMaryhill.^[1]

In the 2019–20 electoral boundary review, all five electorates in the Otago and Southland regions had to be adjusted as they exceeded the 5% population quota. Some electorates were over and some were under the quota, but taken together they were almost exactly on quota. BothDunedin North andDunedin South were significantly below quota and had to gain population.Otago Peninsula was moved from Dunedin South to Dunedin North; this area has a population of about 8,000 people. A large area from the northern part of the Dunedin North electorate (including Palmerston, Macraes, and Herbert) went to theWaitaki electorate, a loss of 2,500 people.^[2] Adding the southern Dunedin area of Otago Peninsula made it necessary for both Dunedin North and Dunedin South to be recreated under new names, with the former Dunedin North plus Otago Peninsula now called the Dunedin electorate. The former Dunedin South electorate extended into the south Otago area and theTaieri electorate was recreated.^[3][4]
