1960 general election

The 1960 general election was held on Saturday, 26 November.[1] A total of 80 MPs were elected; 51 represented North Island electorates, 25 represented South Island electorates, and the remaining four represented Māori electorates; this was the same distribution used since the 1957 election.[2] 1,310,742 voters were enrolled and the official turnout at the election was 89.8%.[1]

The 33rd Parliament sat for four sessions (there were two sessions in 1963), and was prorogued on 25 October 1963.[3]

The Labour Party under Walter Nash had been in power since the 1957 election as the second Labour Government, but was defeated by the National Party at the 1960 election by a twelve-seat margin. Keith Holyoake formed the second Holyoake Ministry on 12 December 1960, which stayed in power until Holyoake stepped down in early 1972. The second National Government remained in place until its defeat at the 1972 election towards the end of that year.[4]
