History data & sources
Ward + municipal PR votes. Connecting bands show the same party’s share or seats between elections, not individual voters moving between parties. Select a year to inspect its values; use the election-year selector to explore its results and places.
The chart names the five largest parties across these elections. The vote list also names parties gaining at least 2 percentage points since the previous election; remaining votes are combined under Other. Other’s change compares the same group of parties in both elections. Missing values remain unavailable.
- All points use the same ballot basis. Ballot totals are not counts of individual voters.
- Missing or grouped party rows remain gaps unless a complete, ungrouped list establishes zero votes.
- Municipal boundaries can change between elections. Published area results are not boundary-adjusted.

Historical comparisons use published area results. Boundaries may change between elections. Vote shares use the ballot labelled on each chart; ballots are not individual voters.
Vote percentages beside council seats combine ward and municipal PR ballots. Seat counts include both ward and PR councillors.
Ward vs PR ballots
Ward: choose a person. PR: choose a party.
The candidate with the most votes in the whole ward wins one seat. They do not need more than 50%.
PR means proportional representation. Party-list seats balance the council’s overall party representation.
Party ward votes and municipal PR votes both count towards the party’s overall seat allocation.
Outside metros, voters also have a separate district PR ballot. An independent can stand in a ward but not on a party PR list.
IEC guide to council seatsThe council results cover all of Buffalo City. Ward results include areas outside Dimbaza.
This page uses the Stats SA statistical main-place boundary labelled 2016. It overlaps 3 of the 2026 wards; the everyday town boundary may differ.
Town-to-ward mappings are available for 2026 only. The historical wards above belong to the whole municipality in 2000.
Positive-area intersections of the full-precision 2016 Stats SA main-place polygon and the MDB 2026 ward polygons. Display simplification is applied separately. Full-ward figures include votes outside the place; votes are never allocated by overlap area. Small boundary alignment differences were excluded using a 10-metre precision tolerance, a combined foreign area below 0.01% of the place, and agreement with the source municipality.
