1866 New Zealand general election

The 1866 New Zealand general election was held between 12 February and 6 April to elect 70 MPs to the fourth term of the New Zealand Parliament.
In 1867 four Māori electorates were created, initially as a temporary measure for five years. The first Māori elections for these seats were held in 1868, with universal suffrage for Māori males over 21.
The first four Māori members of parliament were Tareha Te Moananui, Frederick Nene Russell and John Patterson, who all retired in 1870; and Mete Kīngi Paetahi who was defeated in 1871.
