About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 938 · spoilt 61 · special votes 408 · All 10 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)
PR ballot figures for this ward are the sum of the IEC's results for its 10 voting districts; the IEC publishes the ward ballot per ward and the PR ballot per voting district.
Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 10 voting districts here (4 936 of 8 803). The IEC publishes 56.2%.
The winner's share of registered voters is calculated: the winner's votes on the IEC's ward ballot ÷ the registered voters of the ward's voting districts.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 26 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 455 vs 4 925; ATM 605 vs 1 100; SACP 595 vs 1 098; EFF 384 vs 683; SM 363 vs 582; DA 133 vs 224; ActionSA 91 vs 154; AIC 64 vs 99; ALJAMA 30 vs 37; PAC 28 vs 50; MKP 27 vs 50; RISE 22 vs 31; AHC 14 vs 25; ACDP 11 vs 29; COPE 11 vs 18; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 11; APC 8 vs 19; VF PLUS 8 vs 16; AUC 5 vs 12; PA 4 vs 5; ACT 0 vs 7; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 7; IFP 0 vs 4; PCM 0 vs 2; TBM 0 vs 2; UDM 0 vs 546. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 147 times in 10 voting districts. In local elections the IEC also publishes each party's total across the ward, PR and DC 40% ballots. For these parties (by IEC party number) that total differs from the party's votes on the ballots themselves. We show each ballot's own votes. Each voting district's own page lists the IEC's figures.
Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
