Any Takers?

This code was supposed to read and write to a file the total votes, either Y or N, for each individual district and for the overall total of each vote.
Problem is that its giving me crazy numbers and idk why




#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

//declare variable and get input

ifstream inFile;
ofstream outFile;


char vote;
char district;
int totalYV;
int totalNV;
int d1TotalY; //do this for all districts
int d2TotalY;
int d3TotalY;
int d1TotalN;
int d2TotalN;
int d3TotalN;

inFile.open("vote.txt");
outFile.open("votersTotal.txt");

inFile >> district >> vote;

while(inFile)
{ inFile >> district >> vote;


// add in overall total for both

if(district=='1')
{if(vote=='Y')
d1TotalY==1;
totalYV = d1TotalY++;

}
else if(vote=='N')
{
d1TotalN==1;
totalNV = d1TotalN++;
}

if(district=='2')
{if(vote=='Y')
d2TotalY==1;
totalYV = d2TotalY++;
}
else if(vote=='N')
{
d2TotalN==1;
totalNV = d2TotalN++;
}
if(district=='3')
{if(vote=='Y')
d3TotalY==1;
totalYV = d3TotalY++;
}
else if(vote=='N')
{
d3TotalN==1;
totalNV = d3TotalN++;
}


totalYV++;
totalNV++;

};

outFile << "District 1 Y votes: " << d1TotalY << endl;
outFile << "District 1 N votes: " << d1TotalN << endl;
outFile << "District 2 Y votes: " << d2TotalY << endl;
outFile << "District 2 N votes: " << d2TotalN << endl;
outFile << "District 3 Y votes: " << d3TotalY << endl;
outFile << "District 3 N votes: " << d3TotalN << endl;
outFile << "Total Y Votes: " << totalYV << endl;
outFile << "Total N Votes: " << totalNV << endl;

inFile.close();
outFile.close();

return 0;
}
What does the input file contain ?

Also, initialise your variables
