October 2022 New Zealand general election

. The October 2022 New Zealand general election was held on 15 October 2022. The current Parliament was elected on Saturday, October 15 2022. Voters elected 13 members to the House of Representatives under New Zealand's mixed-member proportional (MMP) voting system, a proportional representation system in which 6 members are elected from single-member electorates and 7 members are elected from closed party lists.

Electoral system
New Zealand uses a mixed-member proportional (MMP) voting system to elect the House of Representatives. Each voter gets two votes, one for a political party (the party vote) and one for a local candidate (the electorate vote). Political parties that meet the threshold (5% of the party vote or one electorate seat) receive seats in the House in proportion to the percentage of the party vote they receive. 6 of the 13 seats are filled by the MPs elected from the electorates, with the winner in each electorate determined by the first past the post method (i.e. most votes wins). The remaining 7 seats are filled by candidates from each party's pre-decided party list. If a party wins more electorates than seats it is entitled to under the party vote, an overhang occurs; in this case, the House will add extra seats to cover the overhang.

Registered parties
Political parties registered with the Electoral Commission can contest the general election as a party. A registered party may submit a party list to contest the party vote. Unregistered parties and independents can contest the electorate vote only. Candidates were released on 10 October 2022.
