Reduction ratio varies.
Maori were originally not required to register before an election and so an electoral roll was not necessary. People turned up on election day, gave their names and voted by a show of hands or on the voices. The 1908 Maori electoral rolls were printed. A minor redistribution of boundaries in the Maori electorates led to the printing of the 1919 Maori rolls. From 1922 Maori on the Chatham Islands were enfranchised and placed on the Western Maori electoral roll. Non-Maori and people with a small amount of Maori blood would, from 1922 till the end of the first-past-the-post system in 1996, appear in the Lyttelton electoral roll. Not until the 1949 election were rolls consistently created for the Maori electorates. In 1974-75 the definition of a Maori was changed so that a Maori was a person of Maori descent who thought of himself/herself as a Maori.
A full set of rolls was produced for the 1949 election and only a supplementary roll was produced for the 1951 election. National won the election in 1949 and called an early election in 1951 to capitalise on support gained in dealing with the Waterfront Strike. There was no time to arrange a new set of electoral rolls. This problem did not arise in 1984 with Muldoon's snap election because an election had been for scheduled for later that year anyway.
Issued in yearly sets. Each set of fiche includes additional material consisting of: Table of contents, maps, list of polling places from the New Zealand gazette and an index.
Includes 1928 Chalmers electoral roll.
Issue for 1919 accompanied by New Zealand Maori electoral rolls.
Issue for 1908 includes: NZ Maori voters roll.
Includes copies of missing rolls, obtained from other sources; electoral rolls for the provincial government elections of Auckland 1870, Canterbury 1871, and Otago 1870 and 1871; and lists of objectors and claimants <1869-1875>.
"Reproduction on microfiche of the bound volumes held in the Parliamentary Library, Wellington."
