National has released its party list and says it's the most diverse list ever, but has yet to confirm who will replace Todd Barclay in Clutha-Southland.
The MP has decided to resign at the end of this parliamentary term, following allegations he secretly recorded a staff member at his Gore electorate office.
The list features people from a range of ethnicities and backgrounds, including businesspeople, teachers, farmers, community advocates, scientists and a pilot.
The current Cabinet and Speaker David Carter make up spots one through 21, with existing MPs and new candidates following that.
If National matches its result from 2014, 13 new MPs would enter Parliament alongside 47 returning MPs.
"Rejuvenation is important for any political party, and National is going into this election with some fantastic new candidates,'' said party president Peter Goodfellow.
"We are also farewelling some very dedicated MPs who have served their constituents, our party and the country with distinction.
"National is incredibly lucky to have so many capable people we can draw on, from our Leader and Prime Minister Bill English right through to our newest candidates.
"Putting together a list is never easy, but this strikes the right balance between recognising experience, diversity and pursuing ongoing renewal.''
He said National was "working hard to build a strong economy so we can afford to invest in the things that matter to New Zealanders'' like training more teachers, investing in health services, building more schools and roads, and boosting family incomes.
"Every MMP election is very close. All of our candidates will be campaigning hard to ensure National gets a strong Party Vote result so we can keep delivering for New Zealanders.
"The only way to secure another strong, National-led Government and avoid a chaotic Labour/Greens/New Zealand First coalition is by Party Voting National, and that's what all of our candidates and volunteers will be focused on over the next eight weeks.''
The general election will be held on September 23.
