NZ Election 2026

Upper Harbour electorate

Upper Harbour covers the communities on both sides of Auckland’s Upper Harbour bridge, including suburbs such as Westgate, Tōtara Vale, and Hobsonville. It is held by National’s Cameron Brewer, who was first elected in 2023 with a margin of 21,498. National won the party vote with 50%, followed by Labour with 22%. The electorate has the highest proportion of women who have exactly one child. Perhaps because of this, it also has the highest proportion of houses with three regular residents.
