About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 7 913 · spoilt 41 · special votes 716 · 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 (7 894 of 11 855). The IEC publishes 66.8%.

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 27 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 6 771 vs 13 442; VF PLUS 268 vs 573; ANC 187 vs 387; ACDP 156 vs 331; EFF 133 vs 267; ActionSA 120 vs 248; UDM 58 vs 124; ATM 55 vs 111; MKP 21 vs 44; SACP 17 vs 35; PA 14 vs 30; MAYIBUYE 13 vs 17; Mayibuye Civic Movement 10 vs 28; GOOD 9 vs 15; PAC 8 vs 16; ALJAMA 7 vs 10; OHM 5 vs 10; AZAPO 4 vs 9; DM 4 vs 8; SDP 3 vs 6; COPE 2 vs 6; P.P 2 vs 4; APC 1 vs 2; DOP 1 vs 5; NA 1 vs 2; AIM 0 vs 5; SWO 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 79 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.
