A ward is an electoral district used in local politics, most notably in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, and Wales), as well as Republic of Ireland, Nepal, Oceania (Australia, New Zealand), South Africa and North America (Canada and many cities in the United States and the federal district of Washington, D.C.).
Wards are usually named after neighbourhoods, thoroughfares, parishes, landmarks, geographical features and in some cases historical figures connected to the area. It is common in the US for city wards to simply be numbered, however.
A ward is a part of one
local council that has been split up in different sections.
A ward in Nepal is a political division. 9 Wards make up a Village Development Committee (VDC); VDCs make districts; Districts makes Zones; and Zones (regions) make up the country.
