*Code = Electorate number

To consider the projected variation in the electoral population of a district within its life, the Commission used the percentage variation of the projected population from the relevant projected quota. The quota is calculated separately for the North Island, South Island and Māori electoral populations. The projected variation from projected quota therefore takes into account the expected growth in each electoral population and consequent increase in quota. The projected variation from projected quota is provided for the years 2008 and 2011, which are points in time within the expected lifetime of the listed electoral districts.

The following is an example for Mt Albert. Mt Albert has a general electoral population of 58,944 which is 1,701 above the current North Island quota (3.0%). It is estimated that in 2008 the electoral population for Mt Albert will be 3% above the projected 2007 quota and in 2011 will be 4% above the projected 2007 quota for the North Island general electoral districts.

Projected population variations are based on the 2006 Māori Electoral Option results and consequent number of electoral districts, and on expected changes in the population. They cannot take into account changes resulting from future Māori Options or from unexpected changes in the population.
