About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 129 · spoilt 68 · special votes 500 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (4 122 of 8 558). The IEC publishes 48.4%.
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 31 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 2 597 vs 5 208; PA 413 vs 808; ANC 351 vs 690; VF PLUS 206 vs 414; EFF 106 vs 221; MKP 58 vs 114; ATM 46 vs 90; E.T.M 42 vs 86; ACDP 41 vs 89; ALJAMA 40 vs 71; SACP 36 vs 76; ActionSA 33 vs 61; UDM 25 vs 53; Mayibuye Civic Movement 16 vs 22; APC 11 vs 12; MAYIBUYE 7 vs 25; PAC 6 vs 9; DM 5 vs 9; GOOD 5 vs 10; AIM 3 vs 6; AZAPO 3 vs 5; COPE 3 vs 4; UPPA 3 vs 4; P.P 2 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 2; AIC 0 vs 5; APPEIR 0 vs 4; CKP 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 4; FISA 0 vs 26. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 64 times in 3 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.
