Pareora

Pareora was a former parliamentary electorate in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand for one electoral term in the 19th century. Pareora existed from 1893 to 1896, when it temporarily replaced the Geraldine electorate. The electorate was represented by one Member of Parliament, Frederick Flatman for that period. He defeated the former Geraldine MP Arthur Rhodes for the electorate in the 28 November 1893 general election by 1594 to 1377 votes. Flatman served until the end of the parliamentary term in 1896 and successfully contested the Geraldine electorate in that subsequent election. Key  Liberal
