The northern boundary is defined by the southern shore of the Manukau Harbour in the west, and Waiheke Island and the Coromandel Peninsula in the east as far south as Waihi Beach. The southern boundary is now defined by Kawhia in the west to Matamata in the east. The electorate includes Hamilton, Matamata, and Cambridge. In 2006 the median age of the Māori descent population in Hauraki-Waikato was 22. Of the Māori descent population aged 15 years and over 7.7% were unemployed in 2006, more than double the figure for the New Zealand population overall (3.4%). The single biggest occupation of those employed in 2006 was labourers (17.8%), followed by professionals (12.6%), and technicians and trades workers (12.4%). Election Results The winning candidate in the 2008 election, Nanaia Mahuta (Labour Party), captured a majority (52.49%) of the 17,810 valid electorate votes cast for candidates in the Hauraki-Waikato electorate. Due to boundary changes made to this electorate in 2007, the 2008 election results for Hauraki-Waikato are not strictly comparable to those of previous elections (which refer to the former Tainui electorate). The Labour Party captured a majority (52.55%) of the party votes in 2008.Turnout (total votes cast as a proportion of enrolled electors) in 2008 was 60.89%.
