About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 537 · spoilt 75 · special votes 658 · 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 (4 492 of 9 513). The IEC publishes 47.8%.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 32 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 234 vs 4 584; DA 342 vs 768; EFF 339 vs 767; ActionSA 149 vs 392; UDM 126 vs 258; MAYIBUYE 114 vs 274; MKP 104 vs 226; PAC 65 vs 133; Mayibuye Civic Movement 59 vs 224; ATM 53 vs 122; SACP 33 vs 86; VF PLUS 23 vs 55; AIC 20 vs 48; SDP 15 vs 34; E.T.M 14 vs 15; P.P 14 vs 30; AZAPO 12 vs 33; ACDP 9 vs 23; AIM 8 vs 30; APC 6 vs 12; PA 5 vs 10; COPE 4 vs 11; DOP 2 vs 5; GOOD 2 vs 4; LABOUR 2 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 5; APPEIR 0 vs 3; CKP 0 vs 1; ECOFORUM 0 vs 1; SWO 0 vs 2; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 123 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.
