About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 740 · spoilt 343 · special votes 447 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (4 569 of 12 474). The IEC publishes 38.0%.
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 25 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): UDM 1 221 vs 2 533; DA 990 vs 1 846; EFF 933 vs 1 735; ANC 573 vs 1 136; ATM 233 vs 461; ActionSA 121 vs 260; MKP 75 vs 149; VF PLUS 73 vs 151; ACDP 47 vs 95; RISE 40 vs 74; SACP 25 vs 54; PA 22 vs 40; PAC 22 vs 41; AIC 7 vs 13; COPE 3 vs 4; SDP 2 vs 3; APC 1 vs 6; AUC 1 vs 3; OLA 1 vs 2; ACT 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 7; MAYIBUYE 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: 54 times in 3 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.
