About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 709 · spoilt 183 · special votes 1 275 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (4 865 of 8 530). The IEC publishes 57.0%.
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 23 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 491 vs 5 032; MKP 1 052 vs 1 130; DA 199 vs 341; SACP 191 vs 335; ActionSA 170 vs 308; EFF 166 vs 303; ATM 68 vs 100; PAC 55 vs 86; AIC 48 vs 67; AHC 13 vs 31; AUC 11 vs 16; APC 10 vs 17; COPE 10 vs 13; VF PLUS 9 vs 13; PA 7 vs 14; RISE 7 vs 10; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 10; ACDP 3 vs 7; PCM 2 vs 4; ACT 0 vs 3; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 6; TBM 0 vs 4; UDM 0 vs 1 383. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 123 times in 8 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.
