About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 764 · spoilt 104 · special votes 1 256 · 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 (5 704 of 12 470). The IEC publishes 46.2%.
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.
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 36 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 2 938 vs 5 832; ANC 793 vs 1 624; PCAM 652 vs 1 239; DM 286 vs 544; PA 262 vs 544; EFF 141 vs 286; PAC 139 vs 256; MKP 60 vs 122; UDM 45 vs 108; VF PLUS 36 vs 80; ACDP 34 vs 68; AZAPO 29 vs 55; MAYIBUYE 26 vs 42; ActionSA 22 vs 58; ALJAMA 21 vs 46; AIC 20 vs 35; APC 15 vs 24; ATM 13 vs 27; SACP 13 vs 29; UPPA 13 vs 24; APPEIR 11 vs 34; SWO 11 vs 15; GOOD 10 vs 16; DOP 9 vs 16; E.T.M 9 vs 19; ECOFORUM 9 vs 18; Mayibuye Civic Movement 9 vs 31; NA 8 vs 21; LABOUR 7 vs 10; SDP 7 vs 9; FISA 4 vs 7; AIM 3 vs 5; P.P 3 vs 7; ACP 0 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 5; COPE 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 103 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.
