About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 839 · spoilt 76 · special votes 675 · All 17 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 17 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 17 voting districts here (5 832 of 10 214). The IEC publishes 57.2%.
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 27 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 551 vs 5 009; DA 1 297 vs 2 578; UDM 733 vs 1 525; EFF 552 vs 1 029; VF PLUS 141 vs 280; TBM 119 vs 213; ActionSA 94 vs 187; SACP 55 vs 105; ATM 54 vs 114; ACDP 35 vs 66; MKP 29 vs 58; RISE 25 vs 51; AIC 14 vs 35; PA 12 vs 24; PAC 9 vs 18; IFP 8 vs 113; APC 7 vs 12; AHC 5 vs 14; COPE 4 vs 7; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 8; ALJAMA 3 vs 4; OLA 3 vs 5; AUC 2 vs 6; ACT 0 vs 4; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 6; PCM 0 vs 1; SM 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 206 times in 17 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.
