Waimarino is a former New Zealand parliamentary electorate. It existed from 1911 to 1954, and from 1963 to 1972. It was rural in nature was represented by four Members of Parliament. ==Population centres== In the 1911 electoral redistribution, the North Island gained a further seat from the South Island due to faster population growth. In addition, there were substantial population movements within each island, and significant changes resulted from this. Only four electorates were unaltered, five electorates were abolished, one former electorate was re-established, and four electorates, including Waimarino, were created for the first time. The Waimarino electorate was used in its initial form for the and s. The electorate was rural without any urban areas. For the 1914 election, 73 polling stations were used, and at only 15 of them were more than 100 votes cast. These polling stations were in Taihape (878 votes), Ohakune (449), Raetihi (361), Manunui (331), Kakahi (279), Rangataua town hall (273), Owhango (270), Ohakune East (167), Fordell (163), Raurimu (158), Horopito (151), Upukongaroa () (127), Umumuri (126), Piriaka (111), and Mataroa (107).〔 The electorate's area stretched from the South Taranaki Bight to Lake Taupo (but not Taupo itself), and from Taihape in the south-east to just outside of Taumarunui in the north-west. In the 1918 Electoral Redistribution, the electorate moved further north. It no longer bordered onto the coast; that area was taken up by , which incorporated Taihape. Taumarunui was now within the electorate. The 1922 Electoral Redistribution resulted in only minimal boundary changes. Significantly, for the first time, part of the population in the electorate was classed as urban (2,144 of 14,587 people, or 14.7%). The 1927 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect with the , resulted in more significant boundary changes. The southern boundary moved further north, the boundary near Lake Taupo moved significantly further south, and land was gained in the north-west to near the North Taranaki Bight including the town of Ohura. There was a slight decrease in the proportion of the population that was classed as urban (to 13.6%). The 1937 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect with the , resulted in more boundary changes. Taihape moved back into the Waimarino electorate. The easternmost part of the electorate went to the electorate including Turangi. In the north, some area was gained from the electorate. The proportion of the population classed as urban increased to 24.5%. The 1946 Electoral Redistribution, which took effect with the , resulted in very significant boundary changes. In 1945, the country quota had been abolished and as a result, mostly rural electorates like Waimarino had to increase significantly in area to compensate for this. Waimarino grew slightly to the south, significantly to the east, and very significantly to the north, and somewhat to the north-west. For the first time, Taupo was fully located within the electorate. In the 1952 Electoral Redistribution, Waimarino was abolished and the area divided between , , , and . This took effect with the . Through the 1962 Electoral Redistribution, Waimarino was re-established mostly from areas that previously belonged to Patea and Waitomo, but also small areas that had belonged to and .
