Christchurch East electorate boundaries for the 2008 and 2011 elections

The electorate is based on the eastern part of the City of Christchurch. When the electorate was first formed through the Representation Act 1870, the western boundary of the electorate was Colombo Street. Unlike today, the eastern boundary was away from the coast; rather, the Template:NZ electorate link electorate covered the coastal regions.^[1]

The electorate is bounded in the east by the Pacific Ocean and in the north by the Waimakariri River. Since the 2008 election, the western and southern boundary followed Main North Road, Marshland Road, North Parade, Dudley Creek, the Avon River, Keyes Road and Pages Road, before cutting through the Bromley wastewater treatment plant to Cuthberts Road. The boundary then followed Cuthberts Road, Breezes Road and Bridge Street to the Avon River, before following the Avon through the Avon Heathcote Estuary and out to the Pacific Ocean.^[2]

The following suburbs, in alphabetical order, are at least partially located in the electorate: Aranui, Avondale, Bexley, Bottle Lake, Bridgend, Brooklands, Burwood, Chaneys, Dallington, Kainga, Marshland, New Brighton, North New Brighton, Ouruhia, Parklands, Queenspark, Shirley, South New Brighton, Southshore, Spencerville, Stewarts Gully, Styx, Waimairi Beach, and Wainoni.^[2]

Population loss after the quakes necessitated expansion of the electorate in the 2013/14 redistribution, with the electorate gaining Mairehau and Shirley from Christchurch Central, Bromley from Port Hills and the remainder of Marshland from Waimakariri.^[3] Slightly more of Bromley was added from Template:NZ electorate link at the 2020 redistribution.^[4]

History

Christchurch City East was first created for the Template:NZ election link Template:Sfn by the Representation Act 1870, which was passed to increase the number of general electorates to 74 from the 61 that were used at the Template:NZ election link. The Representation Act 1870 also disestablished some multi-member electorates, and the three-member City of Christchurch electorate was split up, with one part of it forming the new Christchurch City East electorate.^[1]

The first election was contested by Jerningham Wakefield, who had previously represented Christchurch Country in the 1st Parliament (Template:NZ election link year–1855), and Andrew Duncan, who was Mayor of Christchurch in 1870. Wakefield won the election and represented the electorate until the end of the electoral term in 1875,Template:Sfn^[5] when Christchurch City East was abolished, replaced by the three-member electorate City of Christchurch.Template:Sfn

Christchurch East was re-created for the Template:NZ election link.Template:Sfn The election was contested by Thomas Davey (who had been a representative of the City of Christchurch electorate for the Liberal Party since Template:NZ election link year), William Whitehouse Collins (who had previously been in Parliament for the Liberal Party), Henry Toogood^[6] (a young engineer who only recently left Canterbury College and who would become one of the founding members of the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand), and Frederick Cooke^[7] (a prominent member of the Socialist Party). Davey was successful.^[8]

The Template:NZ election link was contested by Davey (the incumbent), Charles Boxshall (who represented the opposition, which at that point had not formed into a political party), James McCombs (who was an Independent Liberal, i.e. he was not part of a formal party), and Frederick Cooke (who had also contested the previous election standing for the Socialist Party). Davey was re-elected, with McCombs coming second.^[9]^[10] The Second Ballot Act 1908 provided for second or runoff ballots between the top two candidates where the top candidate did not get an absolute majority.^[11] As Davey had obtained 55.56% of the votes, a second ballot was not required in Christchurch East.^[9]

The Template:NZ election link was contested by Davey (the incumbent), Henry Thacker (a prominent medical doctor standing as an Independent Liberal), Hiram Hunter (who stood for the original Labour Party), and Frederick Cooke (who had also contested the two previous election standing for the Socialist Party). The first ballot was won by Thacker, with Davey beating Hunter by only four votes for second place. A second ballot was required, as Thacker had achieved 32.68% of the votes in the first ballot, far short of an absolute majority. The second ballot was won by Davey with a majority of over 17% of the votes.^[12]

Davey planned to contest the Template:NZ election link. The Liberal Government had by now been replaced by the Reform Government. At the opening meeting of his campaign, Davey refused to commit himself to a motion of no confidence against the government, which in turn resulted in the meeting refusing to give him a vote of confidence. A week later, he withdrew his nomination.^[13]^[14]Template:Sfn This left three other candidates in the election: Henry Thacker (who had contested the previous election as an Independent Liberal, but with Davey's withdrawal contested as behalf of the Liberal Party), George Duncan Macfarlane (an auctioneer with no prior political experience who stood for the Reform Party), and Hiram Hunter (who this time contested for the Social Democratic Party, which was the successor to the original Labour Party).^[15]^[16] Thacker was successful and succeeded Davey.^[17]

The Template:NZ election link was contested by Thacker (the incumbent, and since May of that year Mayor of Christchurch^[18]) and Hiram Hunter (who this time contested for the Labour Party, which had been founded in 1916).^[19] Thacker served for two terms until 1922Template:Sfn and was Mayor of Christchurch until 1923.^[20]

Thacker was defeated in the Template:NZ election link by Tim Armstrong of the Labour Party.Template:Sfn The third candidate was W R Devereux, a land agent who stood for the Reform Party.^[21]^[22]

Armstrong successfully contested the Template:NZ election link year and Template:NZ election links against Denis Franklyn Dennehy; his challenger stood for the Liberal Party in 1925, and for its successor, the United Party, in 1928.^[23]^[24] Armstrong was challenged by George Frederick Allen of the United Party in Template:NZ election link year, but Armstrong remained successful.^[25] Allen was active in local affairs and was the headmaster of the Sumner District High School (1908–1933).^[26]^[27]

Armstrong was challenged in Template:NZ election link year by S W Richardson, who was the official candidate for the United–Reform Coalition in 1935.^[28] In Template:NZ election link year, Armstrong was challenged by K I Armour of the National Party.^[29] Armstrong died in office on 8 November 1942 from heart disease.^[30]

Armstrong's death triggered the Template:By-election link, which was held on 6 February.^[31]Template:Sfn The by-election was contested by five candidates, including representatives from the Labour Party, the Labour breakaway party Democratic Labour Party and the National Party.^[32] The election was won by the Labour candidate, Mabel Howard, and started her long parliamentary career, which included her becoming the first female cabinet minister in 1947.^[33] Howard was confirmed later in 1943 in the general election, where her majority increased substantially (by over 17 percentage points).^[34]

Christchurch East was abolished in 1946Template:Sfn and re-created in Template:NZ election link year for the MMP-era. Larry Sutherland, who had previously represented Template:NZ electorate link, won the 1996 election. Sutherland retired at the Template:NZ election link and Lianne Dalziel was first elected. Dalziel had previously represented Christchurch Central (Template:NZ election link year–1996) and spent the next three years as a list MP.

The Christchurch newspaper The Press reported on 20 April 2013 that Lianne Dalziel will challenge Bob Parker for the Christchurch mayoralty.^[35] Dalziel maintained that she was not yet committed to standing,^[36] and only formally confirmed on 19 June that she will contest the mayoralty. She confirmed that she will resign from Parliament, thus triggering a by-election in the Christchurch East electorate.^[37] Dalziel resigned before the official results were announced.^[38]

The by-election was since held on 30 November 2013 in the electorate. This was won by Labour's Poto Williams in a convincing victory despite the view that significant population changes since the 2011 Christchurch earthquake made the allegiance to Labour less certain.^[39]^[40] Williams held Christchurch East in the Template:NZ election link against National's sitting list MP Jo Hayes.^[41]

Since Tim Armstrong's 1922 election win, the electorate (for as long as it has existed) has been held by Labour.Template:Sfn
