Feedback is being sought on a major shake-up of electorates.

The Representation Commission is proposing replacing Wellington's Ōhāriu, Mana and Ōtaki, with new electorates, Kapiti and Kenepuru.

A number of Auckland  boundary lines would be redrawn, including New Lynn, Kelston, Te Atatū - becoming Waitākere, Glendene and Rānui.

Panmure-Otahuhu would become Ōtāhuhu.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper unpacks the potential winners and losers from this announcement.
