<br /><strong>Updated with new data on 22 Sep 2020</strong><br />
<p>This dataset contains the annually released ward boundaries for 2020 as defined by the territorial authorities and/or Local Government Commission, and maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian), clipped to the coastline.This clipped version has been created for map creation/cartographic purposes and so does not fully represent the official full extent boundaries. This version contains 239 categories. </p>
<p>Wards were originally set up within any territorial authority with a population of at least 20,000. Wards are defined under the Local Electoral Act 2001 and result from dividing a territorial authority for electoral purposes. The ward system was designed to allow for the recognition of communities within a territorial authority and to increase community involvement in the local government system.Territorial authorities can now choose whether they would like to maintain electoral wards. As a result, the number of wards has steadily decreased since they were first created in 1989. Ward boundaries are reviewed in the year before the three-yearly local government elections. </p>
<p>Names are provided with and without tohutō/macrons. The name field without macrons is suffixed ‘ascii’. </p>
<p>This generalised version has been simplified for rapid drawing and is designed for thematic or web mapping purposes. </p>
<p>Digital boundary data became freely available on 1 July 2007.</p>
