National Party list 2026

On the current poll average (28.1%), National would win 38 seats: 38 electorates and 0 from the list. It wins 4 more electorates than its party vote earns (overhang), so no list MPs.

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.
