The 50th New Zealand Parliament was elected at the 2011 general election. It had 121 members (120 seats plus one overhang seat), and was in place from December 2011 until September 2014, followed by the 2014 general election. The first sitting of the 50th Parliament was held on 20 December 2011, where members were sworn in and Lockwood Smith was elected Speaker of the House. This was followed by the speech from the throne on 21 December. John Key continued to lead the Fifth National Government. Following the resignation of Smith, David Carter was elected Speaker. The Parliament was elected using the mixed-member proportional representation (MMP) voting system. Members of Parliament (MPs) represent 70 geographical electorates: 16 in the South Island, 47 in the North Island and 7 Māori electorates. The remaining 51 members were elected from party lists using the Sainte-Laguë method to realise proportionality. ==Electorate boundaries for 50th Parliament== Electoral Results 2011 Election The Representation Commission is tasked with reviewing electorate boundaries every five years following each New Zealand census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.elections.org.nz/elections/electorates/rep-comm-overview.html )〕 The last review was undertaken in 2007 following the 2006 census, and the electorate boundaries determined then were used in both the and 2011 general elections.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.elections.org.nz/elections/electorates/rep-comm-faqs.html#gen3 )〕 The next census was scheduled for 8 March 2011, but it was postponed due to the disruption caused by the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake.
