HISTORY The City of Auckland electorate was one of the original electorates, and was used in the country's First Elections . It covered a territory roughly corresponding to the Central Business District of the city today, and was surrounded by another electorate called Auckland Suburbs . As the city was growing rapidly, however, the electorate did not last long — in the 1860 Elections , it was divided into Auckland East and Auckland West . At the 1890 Elections , however, the total number of seats was reduced. This necessitated the re-creation of a seat to cover all of inner Auckland. This was accomplished by merging most of Auckland Central , Auckland West , Auckland North and Ponsonby , and taking a considerable amount of Parnell . In the 1893 Elections , the seat absorbed most of Newton electorate, but lost some of its southern territories to the remnants of Parnell. In 1902 Elections , Grey Lynn was split away into Its Own Electorate . In the 1905 Elections , the remainder of the electorate was split in three, becoming Auckland Central , Auckland East , and Auckland West . ELECTION RESULTS |
