Papatoetoe (New Zealand electorate)

Papatoetoe is a former New Zealand parliamentary electorate, and is part of greater Auckland.

Together with a northward shift of New Zealand's population, this resulted in five new electorates having to be created in the upper part of the North Island.

The electorate is urban-suburban, based on the suburb of Papatoetoe, and was in Manukau City, South Auckland.

To the north it bordered on the Tāmaki River, and between 1984 and 1987 it reached the eastern edge of Manukau Harbour.

The electorate existed from 1978 to the introduction of mixed-member proportional (MMP) representation in 1996 and was represented by two Labour MPs.
