Taranaki-King Country: Electoral Profile

General notes

Held by former Prime Minister Jim Bolger until his resignation in 1998, the Taranaki-King Country electorate is based on the rural communities north-east of Mt Taranaki and the Waikato towns of Te Kuiti, Otorohanga, Te Awamutu, Kawhia, and Raglan. Boundary changes in 2014 saw a northward adjustment to include an area north of Raglan, an eastwards expansion up to the outskirts of Hamilton City, and the adjustment of the southern boundary to exclude Stratford.

The 2013 Census showed that almost a quarter (24.8%) of those employed in Taranaki-King Country were managers, while 22.1% worked in the agriculture, forestry and fishing industry – both the second-highest shares in any general electorate. On census day 2013 3.5% of those travelling to work did so by motorbike; 6.4% of households reported they paid no rent in the dwelling they occupied – both the highest share of any electorate.

The winning candidate in the 2017 election, Barbara Kuriger (National Party), captured a majority (66.4%) of the 35,917 valid electorate votes cast for candidates in the Taranaki-King Country electorate.

Area Units Area units are aggregations of meshblocks. They are non-administrative geographic areas that are in between meshblocks and territorial authorities in size. Area units must either define, or aggregate to define, regional councils, territorial authorities, and urban areas. Area units within urban areas normally contain a population of 3,000–5,000 people. (Statistics New Zealand).

Boundaries The physical boundaries of an electorate determined by the Representation Commission according to criteria specified in the Electoral Act 1993.

By-election An election in an electorate seat to fill a vacancy that arises between general elections. There are no party votes cast in a by-election.

Candidate A person who is a New Zealand citizen who is enrolled as an elector and who has been nominated with his or her consent for election to Parliament as a dual candidate, an electorate candidate, or a list candidate. Census usually

resident population

Population as calculated on census night, the latest census figures being as at March 2013. The census usually resident population count is all people counted in New Zealand on census night excluding overseas visitors and New Zealand residents temporarily overseas.

Employment Full-time employment is equal to people working 30 or more hours per week. Part-time employment is equal to people working 1-29 hours per week.

General Electorates

One of 64 geographic areas (periodically defined and named by the Representation Commission)

which can be contested by candidates of any ethnicity, and who are enrolled on either the General or

Māori Roll. Voters, who have to be on the General Roll, elect one electorate MP who must gain a

plurality of the electorate votes cast in that electorate.

Income Includes income from all sources, including not only wages and salaries, but also other

sources such as benefits, interest payments etc. Income figures given are for before tax (gross) income.

Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation

The Index of Deprivation (a number from 1 to 10) is high for an area with a high degree of socioeconomic "deprivation", and is low for an affluent or less needy area. In New Zealand as a whole, small areas are evenly divided among the ten deciles. The index is calculated from such factors as proportions of people dependent on benefits, unemployed, and living in a single-parent family, and proportions of households with income below a certa in threshold, with no access to a telephone, and with no access to a car.

For more information, see the NZDep2013 Index of Deprivation Research Report (http://www.otago.ac.nz/wellington/research/hirp/otago020194.html)

Māori Electorate

One of seven geographic areas (periodically defined and named by the Representation Commission) which can be contested by candidates of any ethnicity, and who are enrolled on


either the General or Māori Roll. Voters, who have to be on the Māori Roll, elect one electorate MP who must gain a plurality of the electorate votes cast in that electorate.

Margin The margin is the difference between the number of electorate votes received by the winning candidate and those received by the candidate with the second -highest number of electorate votes.

Median Median is the "middle value" of a list. The smallest number such that at least half the numbers in the list are no greater than it. If the list has an odd number of entries, the median is the middle entry in the list after sorting the list into increasing order. If the list has an even number of entries, the median is equal to the sum of the two middle after sorting) numbers divided by two.

Meshblock A meshblock is the smallest geographic unit for which Statistics New Zealand collects statistical data. Meshblocks vary in size, from part of a city block to large areas of rural land. Each meshblock borders on another to cover all of New Zealand, extending out to the 200 -mile economic zone (approximately 320 kilometres). Meshblocks are aggregated to build larger geographic areas, such as area units, territorial authorities, and regional councils. At the time of the 2013 Census, there were 46,637 meshblocks in New Zealand

Quotas The Electoral Act 1993 provides that the South Island has 16 General electoral districts. The General electoral population of the South Island is divided by 16 to give the South Island quota. The North Island General electoral population is then divided by the South Island quota to give the number of North Island General electoral districts. The North Island General electoral population is divided by the number of North Island General electorates to give the North Island quota. For the 2014 electorate boundaries, the South Island quota is 59,679 and the North Island quota is 59,731.

In a similar way, the Māori electoral population is divided by the South Island quota and rounded to give the number of Māori electoral districts. The Māori electoral quota is the Māori electoral population divided by the number of Māori electoral districts. For the 2014 electorate boundaries, the Māori quota is 60,141. For both General and Māori electoral districts the Commission may allow the electoral population to vary from quota by up to plus or minus 5%.

Plurality

A plurality occurs when a candidate receives less than half the votes but who receives the most votes (at least one more vote than any other candidate). There is no requirement in New Zealand that electorate candidates must win a majority (50% of the votes plus one) of the valid electorate votes.

Rank

The ranks shown in the tables for each general electorate (1-64), or each Māori electorate (1-7), reflect the relative position of each electorate in terms of the proportion of the electorate’s stated or total population for each measure. Electorates are ranked from the highest percent figure (ranked 1) to the lowest percent figure (ranked 64 or 7). Using a different total for the denominator may alter the rankings. Where no information is available the electorate is not ranked.

Rounding Census data have been randomly rounded to multiples of three to protect confidentiality. Individual figures may not add up to totals, and values for the same data may vary in different tables.

Suppression Census data have been suppressed in areas containing less than six individuals. This affects data in the Household Composition, Labour Force and Employment Status, and Industries of the Employed tables.

Total responses Several census variables allow people to provide more than one response to the question. When a person has reported more than one response they will be counted in each group they reported. This means that the total population will be greater than the usual subject population for that variable, as individuals may be counted more than once.

Total Votes Cast The total number of votes cast by enrolled electors, including valid votes, informal votes, and

disallowed special votes.

Turnout Expressed as a percentage turnout is the total number of votes cast (including valid votes, disallowed votes, and informal votes) as a proportion of the number of electors enrolled on Election Day.

Voting Age Population The estimated population eligible to vote that includes enrolled and non-enrolled voters. The figures

are supplied by the Electoral Commission and are as at 30 June 2014 using 2013 census data.
