About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 740 · spoilt 92 · special votes 763 · 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 (4 762 of 9 199). The IEC publishes 51.9%.
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 3 228 vs 6 478; EFF 461 vs 906; UDM 318 vs 689; DA 185 vs 378; SACP 153 vs 297; ATM 107 vs 200; AIC 49 vs 84; MKP 45 vs 84; ActionSA 13 vs 29; AHC 12 vs 24; MAYIBUYE 12 vs 20; IFP 11 vs 21; AUC 10 vs 17; RISE 9 vs 12; PAC 8 vs 21; COPE 7 vs 15; PA 5 vs 7; ACDP 4 vs 8; ALJAMA 3 vs 5; ARECO 3 vs 4; APC 2 vs 3; VF PLUS 2 vs 6; ACT 0 vs 3; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 6; OLA 0 vs 2; SM 0 vs 2; TBM 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 190 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.
