About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 695 · spoilt 204 · special votes 1 907 · All 9 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 9 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 9 voting districts here (5 644 of 9 541). The IEC publishes 59.8%.
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.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
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 1 948 vs 3 886; DA 918 vs 1 815; PA 869 vs 1 705; ActionSA 724 vs 1 370; EFF 381 vs 743; UDM 246 vs 613; SACP 130 vs 227; PAC 85 vs 173; VF PLUS 30 vs 70; ATM 29 vs 66; AIC 26 vs 62; MKP 18 vs 34; AHC 16 vs 31; APC 15 vs 36; RISE 14 vs 22; ALJAMA 10 vs 19; ACDP 8 vs 23; AUC 6 vs 10; COPE 6 vs 7; IFP 5 vs 11; ARECO 2 vs 3; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 4; OLA 2 vs 4; SDP 1 vs 2; ACT 0 vs 7; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 3; PCM 0 vs 7. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 139 times in 9 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.
