People of Māori descent can choose to be on a Māori electoral roll. Everyone else enrolled to vote is on the general roll. People not enrolled to vote also get allocated to the two electoral populations: Māori split in the same proportion as enrolled Māori.
The general electoral population is split between South Island and the rest. South Island gets 16 general electorates. The other two electoral populations get as close as possible to the same size electorates as the South.
