About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 210 · spoilt 78 · special votes 756 · All 13 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 13 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 13 voting districts here (5 196 of 7 841). The IEC publishes 66.5%.
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 24 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 923 vs 3 860; SACP 1 478 vs 2 884; DA 1 194 vs 2 346; VF PLUS 190 vs 407; UDM 109 vs 266; EFF 90 vs 176; ATM 30 vs 61; MKP 28 vs 57; ACDP 25 vs 60; AHC 14 vs 23; PAC 11 vs 20; AIC 10 vs 24; ActionSA 7 vs 15; RISE 5 vs 12; ALJAMA 4 vs 7; COPE 3 vs 4; TBM 3 vs 4; APC 1 vs 3; ARECO 1 vs 2; AUC 1 vs 2; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; PCM 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 119 times in 13 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.
