Turnout is not published per ward in the IEC results files, so it is not shown here.

Change since 2021

Ward boundaries were redrawn for 2026, so this compares the same voting districts in both years: 3 of the 3 districts counted so far existed in 2021, holding 100% of the votes counted. Shares are of all valid votes (ward and PR ballots).
