2006 Akaoa by-election

The Akaoa by-election was a by-election in the Cook Islands seat of Akaoa. It took place on 29 November 2006, and was precipitated by the seat being a dead tie in the 2006 general election. After a judicial recount, the High Court ordered a by-election.

Both general election candidates contested the by-election. The poll was won by the Cook Islands Party's Teariki Heather. The by-election attracted a higher number of votes than the general election, in part because of a slight increase in enrolments.
