[suzanne grindley]

Here is a website for the Wards. Has shapefiles that can be downloaded for wards, municipal areas etc.

Look under the download tab.

There are a couple of voting stations within a ward. According to the IEC website, your voting station is allocated according to your voting district [1]. There should be a shape file for those voting districts but IEC only makes a slippy map available which can't be reverse-engineered.
