About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 8 012 · spoilt 37 · special votes 1 628 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (6 492 of 13 456). The IEC publishes 59.5%.
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 31 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 4 329 vs 8 179; ATM 1 343 vs 1 543; EFF 846 vs 1 745; ActionSA 412 vs 835; ANC 309 vs 631; UDM 181 vs 361; VF PLUS 154 vs 343; MKP 107 vs 218; SACP 74 vs 118; ACDP 58 vs 130; PAC 38 vs 66; GOOD 27 vs 51; PA 18 vs 33; MAYIBUYE 14 vs 33; ALJAMA 10 vs 23; AZAPO 9 vs 11; Mayibuye Civic Movement 9 vs 23; AIM 7 vs 17; DM 7 vs 14; COPE 6 vs 16; APC 3 vs 4; E.T.M 3 vs 4; CKP 2 vs 4; OHM 2 vs 3; NA 1 vs 5; UPPA 1 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 1; AIC 0 vs 3; P.P 0 vs 1; PCAM 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 59.54%; its own counts give 48.25% (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 4 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.
