What is a ward?

A ward

A part of a local or metro municipality. Its councillor represents residents on that council.

The ward candidate with the most votes wins, even with less than half the votes.

Winning a ward does not mean winning control of the whole council. The council also includes PR councillors.

Vote share

40 out of every 100 valid votes on the ballot shown.

One councillor

A representative who votes on council decisions.
