These nine provincial interactive maps track the results for the municipal elections, and also show the 66 hung councils at a glance. They also indicate the results from the previous local government elections in 2016 – and, where relevant, how things looked before 1 November amid by-elections and coalition realignments (the incumbent). Just click on the specific municipality you wish to scan to see the pop-up details.
