One hundred and twenty-one MPs were elected to the New Zealand House of Representatives, 70 from single-member electorates, and 51 from party lists including one overhang seat.
A referendum on the voting system was held at the same time as the election,[2] with voters voting by majority to keep the MMP system.[3]
