One ward elects one councillor to the municipal council.Explain+
What is 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.

Ward vs PR ballots
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.

What is a voting district?
Voters are assigned to a voting station in this area. These results show only that part of the ward.
Results from all the ward’s voting districts decide its councillor.
A lead here is not a ward win. A voting district has no council and is different from a district municipality.
