About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 5 195 · spoilt 223 · special votes 667 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (5 007 of 9 410). The IEC publishes 55.7%.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 31 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 896 vs 3 656; ANC 1 608 vs 3 263; EFF 304 vs 619; SACP 287 vs 575; MKP 146 vs 276; VF PLUS 127 vs 269; ActionSA 119 vs 234; MAYIBUYE 98 vs 177; UDM 79 vs 192; AIC 78 vs 96; ATM 65 vs 113; Mayibuye Civic Movement 45 vs 135; PA 30 vs 64; ACDP 29 vs 60; PAC 13 vs 23; GOOD 12 vs 24; DM 6 vs 10; AZAPO 5 vs 15; P.P 5 vs 8; SDP 5 vs 9; LABOUR 3 vs 4; AIM 2 vs 6; COPE 2 vs 7; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; APC 1 vs 5; ACP 0 vs 4; ACT 0 vs 6; APPEIR 0 vs 9; DOP 0 vs 1; ECOFORUM 0 vs 3; SWO 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 55.69%; its own counts give 53.21% (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: 111 times in 6 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.
