[edit] Election results
In the following tables, the primary vote refers to first-preference votes cast. The final vote refers to the final tally after votes for low-polling candidates have been progressively redistributed to other candidates according to pre-arranged electoral agreements (see electoral fusion), which may be customized by the voters (see instant run-off voting).
In the 2001 and 2006 elections, Ro Teimumu Kepa won with more than 50 percent of the primary vote; therefore, there was no redistribution of preferences.
