Reading this comparison

 

Reading this tab: figures here are the electorate (candidate) vote — the vote that elects each local MP. Under MMP this is separate from the party vote, which determines each party's overall share of seats in Parliament. A party can win few electorates but still enter Parliament (or govern) on its party vote share, so seat counts below are not the election result.

Electorate seats won, by party

Of 72 electorates — Port Waikato's poll was deferred after a candidate's death, so it sits outside this count

Electorate vote share, by party

General seats vs Māori seats vs combined — share of the candidate vote

Turnout vs. competitiveness

Each point is an electorate: turnout % against the winner's margin as a share of valid votes cast (lower = a tighter race). Coloured by winning party.
