In the second ward, the African National Congress incumbent passed away.
In the municipality of uMdoni, the DA and ANC are contesting the Ward 15 by-election, which was also triggered by a resignation.
In the Midlands, voters in Ward 4 of Mpofana will also be heading to the polls, while on the north coast, two candidates from the DA and ANC will be hoping to emerge victorious in the KwaDukuza Ward 6 by-election.
Residents of Nkandla's Ward 4 will also cast their ballots to elect a new representative following the death of their IFP councillor.
All voting stations will open their doors at 7 am and close at 9 pm.
