The Maori vote was held on 11 December. A total number of 616,043 voters were registered, of which 84.7% voters turned out to vote. The election saw William Massey's Reform Government maintain power. The second-ballot voting system had been repealed in 1913, and first-past-the-post voting reinstated for the 1914 election. Soldiers serving overseas in the NZEF were given a vote by the Expeditionary Forces Voting Act, 1914. They voted for a party (Liberal, Labour or Reform) and their votes were allocated to a candidate for their electorate by a representative of their party; which sometimes required the representative to choose between rival "Liberal" or "Labour" candidates.Arthur Glass8.93409743.1New Zealand Liberal PartyResults of the election.Oroua1122911430Harry de Lautour201411980NapierJames Free273WanganuiWilliam Hawkins22672WaikatoJohn Robertsonparliamentary965New Zealand Liberal PartyGeorge Powell14481009Western MaoriJoseph Clark10131002John MorrisonMarsden1914999Hugh CampbellOamaruNelsonBertram BunnKaiapoi1911OhinemuriHutt2107The 1914 New Zealand general election was held on 10 December to elect a total of 80 MPs to the 19th session of the New Zealand Parliament.
