About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 7 567 · spoilt 26 · special votes 133 · 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 (7 525 of 12 700). The IEC publishes 59.6%.
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 33 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 781 vs 11 530; ANC 432 vs 892; EFF 319 vs 488; VF PLUS 293 vs 716; ActionSA 140 vs 328; PA 131 vs 232; ACDP 99 vs 207; UDM 88 vs 148; MKP 41 vs 68; ATM 37 vs 86; P.P 34 vs 36; Mayibuye Civic Movement 23 vs 48; ALJAMA 19 vs 34; SACP 19 vs 45; DOP 14 vs 26; PAC 14 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 13 vs 31; GOOD 11 vs 17; COPE 9 vs 11; AIC 8 vs 9; DM 5 vs 13; NA 5 vs 10; AZAPO 4 vs 7; AIM 2 vs 7; ACP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 1; APPEIR 0 vs 3; CKP 0 vs 1; ECOFORUM 0 vs 1; FISA 0 vs 2; LABOUR 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 1; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 62 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.
