About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 032 · spoilt 136 · special votes 189 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (2 882 of 7 591). The IEC publishes 40.4%.
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 948 vs 1 963; ANC 887 vs 2 820; SACP 327 vs 926; EFF 246 vs 777; ATM 230 vs 858; DA 107 vs 529; PAC 36 vs 137; PEC 34 vs 137; MKP 26 vs 106; MRRA 18 vs 64; AIC 14 vs 26; THE VOICE 7 vs 17; AUC 5 vs 25; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 24; ACT 2 vs 10; OHM 2 vs 4; URF 2 vs 9; IRP 1 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 12; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 99; COPE 0 vs 3; IFP 0 vs 7; LAND 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 7; QINA 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 40.38%; its own counts give 37.97% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 83 times in 5 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: King Sabata Dalindyebo's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
