It depends on your standard. New Zealand elected it's own Parliament first in 1853. Universal male suffrage was 1879, universal over-21 suffrage was 1893. Votes were weighted in favour of rural areas (i.e. rural voters votes counted for more then urban voters) until 1945. 18-year olds could vote in 1975. Maori can choose to vote on a separate Maori-only roll, and these votes weren't counted equally with general votes until 1996.
