Māori electorates

In New Zealand politics, Māori electorates, also known as the Māori seats, are a special category of electorate that until 1967 gave reserved positions to representatives of Māori in the New Zealand Parliament.

Every area in New Zealand is covered by both a general and a Māori electorate; as of 2020, there are seven Māori electorates.[1][2]
