Kou-Kamma Local Municipality elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kou-Kamma Local Municipality council consists of twelve members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Six councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in six wards, while the remaining six are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received.
