Tasman (New Zealand Electorate)
Tasman is a former New Zealand parliamentary electorate, from 1972 to 1996. Population centres Since the , the number of electorates in the South Island was fixed at 25, with continued faster population growth in the North Island leading to an increase in the number of general electorates.

In the North Island, five electorates were abolished, two electorates were recreated, and six electorates were newly created. The Tasman and West Coast electorates replaced the former Buller and Westland electorates in 1972. Population centres of the original T ...
