#Aotearoa#NewZealand changed its electoral system from FPTP to MMP by referendum in 1993. This means regardless of what electorate you live your "Party Vote" will help decide the govt. You get 2 votes a "Party Vote" and an "Electorate Vote" your electorate vote simply decides your electoral representation in parliament but your "Party Vote" will decide the proportional make up of parliament and ultimately decide govt which is usually a majority coalition.
