Candidates in the 2002 New Zealand general election by electorate

69 electorate members of the New Zealand House of Representatives were to be elected in the general election on 27 July 2002. The tables below show the candidates for each electorate. Incumbent electorate MPs are highlighted in blue, and those candidates who were members of the previous parliament via their party list—regardless of which electorate they previously contested—are highlighted in red.

New Zealand political candidates in the MMP era

1999	party lists	by electorate
2002	party lists	by electorate
2005	party lists	by electorate
2008	party lists	by electorate
2011	party lists	by electorate
2014	party lists	by electorate
2017	party lists	by electorate
2020	party lists	by electorate
2023	party lists	by electorate

Where candidates were listed on their party's list, this is shown accordingly.^[1][2] There are a number of cases why candidates don't have a list ranking:

• Some candidates belong to a registered party, but they were not on their party's list – this is shown on "none".
• Some candidates belong to a registered party, but the party did not submit a party list – the list field is blank in this case.
• Some candidates belong to an unregistered party, and those cannot submit a party list – the list field is blank in this case.

At the 2002 general election Libertarianz was the only registered party that did not submit a list.^[3]
