Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting in New Zealand combines proportional representation with electorate-based representation. Voters cast two votes: one for a political party (the party vote) and one for a candidate in their local electorate (the electorate vote). Parties must surpass a 5% threshold of the party vote or win at least one electorate seat to gain representation in Parliament. The overall composition of Parliament is calculated to reflect the proportion of party votes received, ensuring that the number of seats a party holds corresponds closely to its share of the total votes.
