The 52nd New Zealand was formally dissolved 11am Sunday 6 September 2020 in preparation for the General Election that will be held on Saturday 17 October 2020. At a point after the General Election once a new government has been formed, the seats for the 53rd Parliament will be assigned and display on this page. Until that time the pdf attachment at the bottom of this page displays the last seating plan of the 52nd Parliament.

Seats in the Chamber of the House of Representatives are allocated on a block basis to each party. A change in the number of seats each party holds in the House can affect the block allocation.

Government parties sit on the Speaker's right.

Opposition parties sit on the Speaker's left.

Members of Parliament sit in the block that is allocated to the political party they represent. The parties decide where each member will sit within their block. The most senior members usually sit in the front (on the front benches) while junior members sit towards the back of the block (on the back benches).

The Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition traditionally sit opposite each other across the Table.
