Te Pāti Māori president John Tamihere said the polls were proven wrong again but he said a lot of that was due to younger voters.
"I think a number of the polls have come up shy. If you look at our seats, the only seat polled and our favour was Waiariki. Takuta was 11 percentage points behind Tirikatene on those Maori TV polls. We are unsurprised because of the energy on the ground. We struggle in the over 50s, the DNA is sort of bonded. But 18 to 25s are out the gate, 25 to 35s are there and we just have to split the other cohorts."
He said this generational shift is also evident in the Pākehā voters.
"The biggest voter cohort in the country is 900,000 Pakeha over the age of 50. Their children and their grandchildren see a different society to the parents and grandparents. They aren't as deeply wanting us to all be one, and what one means is that we're gonna be like Pākehā. They have a totally different appreciation."
He said the offshore votes could still shift the results in the close seats.

Could have been Maori too. Three new Green Maori women MPs this election. Young people vote for the Greens too. Nine MPs last time, Jan Logie & Eugenie Sage have gone.

Huge turnout at the polling booths by dogs exercising their right to be photographed.

It’s election day, and we’re bringing you nothing but live pupdates until 7pm. We’ve been absolutely swamped with delightful dogs so if you’re wondering whether to send in yours, maybe hold off.

Speedy Az didn’t go to voting both ……but he’s worried racing might get banned but pleased Labour won’t be making the decision.

Hey Balance, looks like you and Liz Gunn are on the same page, maybe even soulmates.
"We are being ruled by a criminal cabal and at the very least, utter bullies," said Gunn at a New Zealand Loyal event held on election night, a video of which was posted on the party's Facebook page.

Big night for our young female candidates
New Zealand's young females were the real winners of the evening, with several candidates from our major and minor parties winning seats.
Te Pāti Māori's Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke, aged 21, became New Zealand's youngest MP in 170 years, unseating Labour's Nanaia Mahuta with more than 1000 votes.
Meanwhile, Green MP Tamatha Paul, 26, won Wellington Central, stepping up above Labour's Ibrahim Omer and National's Scott Sheeran.
With more success for the Greens, Chloe Swarbrick, 29, retained the Auckland Central electorate, making history as the first in her party to ever do so. Green MP Chloe Swarbrick was 23 when she first made it into parliament on the Green list in 2017, and up until now has remained the youngest MP.
For Labour, Arena Williams, born in 1990, roped in the success after managing to retain her Manurewa electorate.
On the other end of the political spectrum, the ACT Party's Brooke van Velden, 31, won her electorate seat in Tamaki, kicking out National MP Simon O'Connor.

Long-time Labour MP Dover Samuels (at the NZFirst party headquarters), anticipating the result this evening, said it spoke to New Zealanders response to the campaign waged by the two major parties, Labour and National.
”I’ve seen crap thrown around in my years of politics but I’ve never seen it like this. I think what we will see tonight is a reflection of ordinary New Zealanders who can see through all this sewage that has come out - unprecedented in my view.”
Samuels said it was the first true MMP election in which New Zealanders had turned their back on the major parties with a slew of political offerings from the minor parties.
”They (Labour and National) have to acknowledge not all New Zealanders politics are the same.”
