Issue polls

Short questions about local issues and public services, such as the biggest problem in your ward. Anyone with a free account can answer, once. Mandate SA never asks how you will vote or which party you support.

Not a scientific poll: only people who chose to answer.

New issue polls appear here when Mandate SA opens one. Results stay public after a poll closes.

How these polls work

Mandate SA’s editors write each poll, and a second editor checks it before it opens.
Polls are about issues and services only: never vote intention, party preference or, until after 4 November 2026, the election.
One answer per person, with a free account. Your answer is never shown with your name.
Results by ward or municipality are shown only where at least 10 people from that area have answered.
The results show what the people who chose to answer think. They are not a measure of what everyone thinks.
