Tuapeka is a former parliamentary electorate in the Otago region of New Zealand, from 1871 to 1911.
The 1870 electoral redistribution was undertaken by a parliamentary select committee based on population data from the 1867 New Zealand census.
Eight sub-committees were formed, with two members each making decisions for their own province; thus members set their own electorate boundaries.
[8] Pyke represented Tuapeka from the 1893 election to 4 June 1894, when he died.
[9] William Chapple, who represented Tuapeka for just four months following a by-election in 1908,[10] later became an MP in the House of Commons, representing Stirlingshire (1910–1918) and Dumfrieshire (1922–1924).
