Plans on the roll-out of the ward delimitation process and an update on deferred cases (Municipal outer boundary process)
The MDB is rolling out the ward delimitation process in preparation of the 2026 local government elections (LGE). The MDB delimits wards every five years preceding the local government elections (LGE) in compliance with the Municipal Structures Act 117 of 1998, schedule 1 as amended (MSA). The plan is to hand-over the final wards to the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) towards the end of the year.
