'''Selwyn''' is a current electorate in the [[New Zealand House of Representatives]], composed of towns on the outskirts of [[Christchurch]] city. The electorate was first formed for the {{NZ election link|1866}} and has been abolished three times during its history. It was last re-established for the {{NZ election link|2008}} and has been held by [[Nicola Grigg]] for the [[New Zealand National Party|National Party]] since the {{NZ election link|2020}}.
 
Line 12 ⟶ 28:
An electorate called Selwyn existed between [[1866 New Zealand general election|1866]] and [[1919 New Zealand general election|1919]]. A Selwyn electorate also existed between [[1946 New Zealand general election|1946]] and [[1972 New Zealand general election|1972]] and again from [[1978 New Zealand general election|1978]] until it was absorbed by [[Rakaia (New Zealand electorate)|Rakaia]] for the first [[Mixed-member proportional representation|MMP]] election in [[1996 New Zealand general election|1996]].{{sfn|McRobie|1989|pp=91–96}} The latest version of the Selwyn electorate was created for the 2008 election. This followed a review of electoral boundaries conducted after the 2006 Census, because of a general northwards population movement in the South Island. Even though the number of South Island electorates is fixed, the decline in the population of electorates from Rakaia south has resulted in the boundaries of electorates from [[Invercargill (New Zealand electorate)|Invercargill]] north to Rakaia shifting further northwards.
 
Due to the rapid growth of Selwyn relative to Christchurch (which lost population after the earthquakes), the 2013 redistribution had Selwyn losing [[Halswell]] and [[Westmorland, New Zealand|Westmorland]] to [[Port Hills (New Zealand electorate)|Port Hills]] and Harewood to [[Waimakariri (New Zealand electorate)|Waimakariri]] while regaining the towns of [[Rakaia]] and [[Chertsey, New Zealand|Chertsey]] back from [[Rangitata (New Zealand electorate)|Rangitata]].<ref>{{cite book| title=Report of the Representation Commission 2014 |url= http://www.elections.org.nz/sites/default/files/bulk-upload/documents/report_of_the_representation_commission_2014.pdf |isbn=978-0-477-10414-2 |publisher=Representation Commission |accessdateaccess-date=26 September 2014 |page=10 |format=PDF |date=4 April 2014}}</ref> Data from the [[2018 New Zealand census|2018 census]] showed Selywn's population had continued to grow – it had the largest discrepancy of any electorate – and so the electorate would need to lose further area for the 2020 boundaries.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/116008966/census-new-zealand-to-gain-one-new-seat-in-2020-election|title=Census 2018: New Zealand to gain one new seat in 2020 election|last=Cooke|first=Henry|date=23 September 2019|website=Stuff|language=en|access-date=2019-09-23 September 2019}}</ref> It shed an area around Hornby South to {{NZ electorate link|Wigram}}, the Banks Peninsula to the recreated {{NZ electorate link|Banks Peninsula}}, the area west of the [[Rakaia River|Rakaia]] to {{NZ electorate link|Rangitata}}, and an area around [[Christchurch Airport]] to {{NZ electorate link|Ilam}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vote.nz/assets/Boundary-Review/REPORT-OF-THE-REPRESENTATION-COMMISSION-2020.pdf |title=Report of the Representation Commission 2020 |date=17 April 2020}}</ref>

The electorate is one of the [[New Zealand National Party|National Party]]'s safest seats. National have held the seat, whenever it has existed since it was first recreated in 1946. The incumbent MP is [[Amy Adams (politician)|Amy Adams]], who has received between 60% and 70% of the electorate vote in the four elections since its latest recreation in 2008. In 2011, the candidate for the other major New Zealand party, [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour]], received less than 11% of the electoral vote and came third, behind the [[Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand|Greens]] in the 2011 election. In that election, the only polling booths where Adams didn't receive the most votes were [[Arthur's Pass]] and [[Diamond Harbour, New Zealand|Diamond Harbour]].
