ACT New Zealand list 2026
On the current poll average (10.1%), ACT would win 12 seats: 2 electorates and 10 from the list, so list places down to about #12 get in.
How this works: the party vote is the poll average; electorates are filled in by the calculator's default settings (each seat's 2023 margin moved by three-quarters of the change in the party vote, with Māori seats, very safe seats and seats held by smaller parties kept with their 2023 party). It's an illustration of what the polls imply under MMP, not a forecast.

List as lodged with the Electoral Commission. A candidate who wins an electorate takes that seat and is skipped on the list. "In on the polls?" shows who gets in on the current poll average with the calculator's defaults: by winning their electorate, or from the list.
