WALT understand how the election works

SC - I know the number of seats in parliament
- I know where each party sits inside parliament
- I know voters get two votes - one for the party and one for their electorate representtitive
- I know voters can get into parliament by winning their electorate or as a list MP (if their party wins 5% of the votes)



Here are some images you might find helpful:



 Inside - view from the speaker's perspective.             Current allocation of seats.

 View from the back of the Parliamentary Chamber.

View from outside of Parliament and the Beehive. 

Complete your own research, to help you gain a better understanding of how the election works, now that you know a little more about Parliament.
