Population centres
In the 1927 electoral redistribution, the North Island gained a further electorate from the South Island due to faster population growth. Five electorates were abolished, two former electorates were re-established, and three electorates, including Auckland Suburbs, were created for the first time. These changes came into effect with the 1928 election.
