Final 2025 Local Government Election Results Now Updated

All final results from the 2025 New Zealand local government elections are now live in the database. These results cover contests across the country and include detailed candidate, office, and outcome data. You can search and find the results in our Politician Database.

The only councils not yet finalised are Kaipara District Council and Chatham Islands Council, both of which currently have outstanding recount requests. Their results have been updated but won't be marked as Final until recounts are confirmed.

The database now includes:

  • 2025 Local Government Election
  • 2024 Tauranga City Council Election
  • 2023 General Election
  • 2020 General Election
  • 2017 General Election
  • 2014 General Election (just need to add in minor parties and unsuccessful list candidates)
  • And a host of byelections going back about a decade

Work is also underway to backfill historical election data, starting with all individuals who are currently serving in elected positions, and then expanding to include previous elections and unsuccessful candidates.

This will eventually form a comprehensive record of New Zealand’s electoral landscape - connecting contests, results, and terms of service across multiple election cycles as well as news stories that mention the politicians.
