Ward 5

One ward elects one councillor to the municipal council.Explain

What is a ward?

A ward

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

One seat

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 vs seats

Vote share

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

One councillor

A representative who votes on council decisions.

Seats decide a majority

Use the council seat total, not the percentage on a single ballot.

Ward wins and the proportional allocation determine the final seats. A party’s PR vote percentage alone is not its share of council seats.
