Could your municipality be governed by a coalition?

When no party wins a majority, parties must work together to govern. Their decisions shape leadership, budgets and service delivery.

@africanscribe @IECSouthAfrica Thanks, Kristina. The district ballot will list only parties contesting seats on that district council, not the full national list. It will be a party list, not a map. We agree more voter education is needed on the role of district municipalities and why that third ballot matters

[OUTA @OUTASA]

Local government elections are just 22 days away!

Do you know what each ballot is for? Take a moment to familiarise yourself before election day. An informed vote is your first step towards holding local government accountable.
