Vote 2025 local elections: Waikato mayoral and election results interactive map

View preliminary results for mayoral, council, community board, and regional council races on our interactive map.

As progress results continue to come in from all over the country, New Zealand is starting to get a clearer picture of who will govern the different cities and regions of Aotearoa.

The Herald has created an interactive tool to make it easier for everyone to search for results from the local body election races across Aotearoa.

To view results simply select the local election race you want to look up using the interactive tool below:

Progress results are preliminary and may not be available for close races.

Each local election involves multiple races. Everyone in a city or district has the option to vote for the mayor. Voters also vote in the general ward, Māori ward races to decide who will make up their council. In some places there are also local or community board (including subdivisions) races, licensing trust elections and in 2025, many locations also have a referendum on Māori wards.

Voters who live outside of Auckland, Gisborne, Nelson, Tasman, and Marlborough select their regional councillors in the regional council general constituency or Māori constituency races, and in 2025 some regional councils will have a referendum on Māori constituencies.

The first results announced are progress results. These are expected to be available from 2pm and do not include the most recent ordinary votes.

These results could change.

Preliminary results are announced Saturday evening or Sunday once all ordinary votes have been counted.

The official results will be released once all ordinary and special votes have been counted.
