This article summarises results of the 14 October 2023 New Zealand general election, including both party vote and electorate vote outcomes.
Release of results
Preliminary results were released gradually after polling booths closed at 19:00 (NZDT) on 14 October.[1] The preliminary count only includes advance ordinary and election day ordinary votes; it does not include any special votes, which have a deadline ten days later (24 October).[2] Special votes include votes from those who enrolled after the deadline of 10 September, those who voted outside their electorate (including all overseas votes), voters in hospital or prison, and those voters enrolled on the unpublished roll.[3]
