About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 5 741 · spoilt 90 · special votes 795 · All 11 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 11 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 11 voting districts here (5 685 of 10 147). The IEC publishes 56.6%.

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 3 109 vs 6 211; ATM 869 vs 1 577; UDM 481 vs 1 054; DA 402 vs 827; EFF 269 vs 574; SACP 120 vs 254; PA 118 vs 233; ActionSA 53 vs 114; AIC 41 vs 77; AHC 36 vs 52; PAC 33 vs 62; VF PLUS 18 vs 44; APC 15 vs 25; AUC 15 vs 25; ACDP 14 vs 24; MKP 11 vs 28; RISE 11 vs 21; COPE 5 vs 10; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 6; ALJAMA 3 vs 8; ARECO 3 vs 6; ACT 0 vs 3; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 3; OLA 0 vs 3; SM 0 vs 1; TBM 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 167 times in 11 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.
