Complete Mapping Index


All basic maps, for all metros, are now complete. This post is nothing more than an index to the complete set of metro maps. They include: individual party support, leading party, second biggest party, turnout and support for other parties. They will be supplemented next year but, for the moment, this is just a helpful post that gives you a set of direct links to all basic indicators. Next year, they will form the foundation of much more analysis, statistics and maps to come. Until then, have a good break, and thank you for subscribing.

The other primary force – perhaps even more impactful than turnout – is fragmentation: the degree to which the ANC’s and DA’s vote share has split since 2011. Back then, those two parties had a monopoly on the metro vote. Since then, both the number of “Other Parties” and their combined vote share, has exploded.
