Overstrand Municipality is known for the smooth functioning of its ward committee system, but this system can only be maintained and even be improved if the community are involved in the election and functioning of ward committee members.
The Ward Committee elections will take place after the Local Government Elections on 1 November 2021 in each of the 14 wards.
Ward committees are regarded as the vehicle to promote good governance at local government level by being involved in planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation of programmes and projects.
Please Note.
• The election (voting) for Ward Committees will be conducted from 10:00 until 19:00
• The elections will be conducted by way of a walk-through process like IEC on election day(s).
