New Zealand’s preliminary count puts National on 42 projected seats
Labour led narrowly in the party vote while National led in electorates.
New Zealand's preliminary general election count projects 42 seats for National and 36 for Labour. In the party vote, Labour was on 29.36 percent and National on 29.21 percent. National led in 42 electorates and Labour in 21.
The results table puts the Greens on 16 projected seats. It shows electorate and list seats separately, which helps explain why the party vote ranking and the projected total seat ranking differ.
The Electoral Commission's page shows all preliminary voting-place results counted. It aims to publish the official count on November 27, when it will formally declare the outcome.
