About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 4 625 · spoilt 384 · special votes 314 · 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 (4 622 of 12 128). The IEC publishes 38.1%.

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 26 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): EFF 1 310 vs 2 549; UDM 972 vs 2 116; ANC 772 vs 1 510; DA 483 vs 912; ATM 191 vs 383; ActionSA 127 vs 282; MKP 120 vs 250; PA 73 vs 125; RISE 37 vs 73; SACP 34 vs 62; VF PLUS 26 vs 55; SM 24 vs 38; PAC 17 vs 33; ACDP 14 vs 29; AUC 9 vs 11; MAYIBUYE 8 vs 15; AIC 7 vs 11; APC 5 vs 6; COPE 5 vs 9; ALJAMA 3 vs 7; PCM 1 vs 4; ACT 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 11; OLA 0 vs 2; TBM 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 60 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.
