Dunedin East

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Former electorate in Otago, New Zealand

Dunedin East was a parliamentaryelectorate in the city ofDunedin in theOtago region of New Zealand from 1881 to 1890.

Population centres

[edit]

The previous electoral redistribution was undertaken in 1875 for the1875–1876 election. In the six years since, New Zealand's European population had increased by 65%. In the 1881 electoral redistribution, theHouse of Representatives increased the number of European representatives to 91 (up from 84 since the 1875–76 election). The number of Māori electorates was held at four. The House further decided that electorates should not have more than one representative, which led to 35 new electorates being formed, including Dunedin East, and two electorates that had previously been abolished to be recreated. This necessitated a major disruption to existing boundaries.[1]
