Notes
There would only be 107 MPs - an underhang - because there are only two people on the party list for Bill and Ben. A party cannot add people to its nominated list so 13 seats would remain empty.
There is no overhang
The following parties crossed the threshold by winning an electorate:
- Act New Zealand in Epsom
- Māori Party in all Maori electorates except Hauraki-Waikato
- New Zealand First Party in Tamaki
- United Future New Zealand in Ohariu
