The '''1966 New Zealand general election''' was a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the [[New Zealand Parliament]]'s [[35th New Zealand Parliament|35th term]]. It saw the governing [[New Zealand National Party|National Party]] win a third consecutive term in office. It was also the first time since the [[1943 New Zealand general election|1943 election]] that a minor party won a seat in Parliament.

==Background==
The [[New Zealand National Party|National Party]] had established its second administration following the [[1960 New Zealand general election|1960 elections]], and had been re-elected in the [[1963 New Zealand general election|1963 election]]. [[Keith Holyoake]] remained [[Prime Minister of New Zealand|Prime Minister]]. The [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour Party]] experienced a leadership change shortly before the 1966 elections: [[Arnold Nordmeyer]], who was closely associated with an unpopular previous Labour government, was replaced by the younger [[Norman Kirk]]. Labour remained disunited, however, with ongoing leadership problems undermining Kirk's position. Disagreement between [[labor union|unionists]] and non-unionists regarding economic policy also weakened the party.

One significant issue that divided National and Labour in the 1966 elections was the question of New Zealand's participation in the [[Vietnam War]]. Under National, New Zealand contributed a small number of troops, which Holyoake strongly defended during  the election campaign. Labour, by contrast, made the recall of troops one of its key policies; former Labour leader [[Walter Nash]] was a particularly strong critic of the war. Nash believed that Labour's failure to win the election was because of its principled anti-Vietnam war policy, despite voters preferring Labour's economic policy to National's.{{sfn|Sinclair|1976|p=364}}

===MPs retiring in 1966===
Eight National MPs and two Labour MPs intended to retire at the end of the 34th Parliament.

==The election==

The date for the main 1966 elections was 26 November. 1,409,600 people were registered to vote. [[voter turnout|Turnout]] was 86.0%, a number relatively low for the time. The number of seats being contested was 80, a number which had been fixed since 1902. It was, however, the last election in which the number of seats was set at this level.

==Election results==

===Party standings===
The 1966 election saw the governing [[New Zealand National Party|National Party]] retain office by an eight-seat margin. It had previously held office by a ten-seat margin — the drop was a result of losing the Hobson seat to [[Social Credit Party (New Zealand)|Social Credit]]'s [[Vernon Cracknell]]. National won a total of forty-four seats, while the [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour Party]] remained static on thirty-five. In the popular vote, the parties were closer — National won 43.6% to Labour's 41.4%. The [[Social Credit Party (New Zealand)|Social Credit Party]] won 14.5% of the vote and one seat.
