Opt in. Nothing is sent to a phone or inbox. After a refresh, Ballot Desk can tell you here if a followed council changes.
Source: Electoral Commission of South Africa. Official dashboard. Share is ward votes plus PR votes, divided by the IEC valid-vote total (ValidVotesCast). Ward and PR stay in their own columns. The district-council 40% ballot is not part of this share. Results stay provisional until the Commission declares them final. This desk never invents a final label.
