In a by-election you have one vote – for the candidate you want to be your local member of Parliament.
This is different from a general election when you have two votes – one for a party and the other for your local candidate.
These are the candidates who stood in the Tāmaki Makaurau by-election which took place on Saturday 6 September 2025.
