Usage

This infobox is for use on pages on the electorates of New Zealand. See Category:New Zealand electorates or List of New Zealand electorates for these articles.

Currently, this template is only set up for current electorates, and may not work well on historical electorates.

Details for the electorate’s current member can be generated from {{NZ officeholder data}}, or may generate automatically if left blank. Whether member data is filled manually, or whether using centralised values, ensure all data is from the same source, to avoid the member’s name, party, photo, first election date or electorate office getting out of sync, following a change in representative.
