About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 5 923 · spoilt 27 · special votes 647 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (5 885 of 11 925). The IEC publishes 45.4%.

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.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 4 268 vs 8 437; PA 988 vs 1 973; ANC 196 vs 408; VF PLUS 170 vs 362; E.T.M 61 vs 130; ACDP 52 vs 107; NA 24 vs 46; EFF 23 vs 56; ActionSA 16 vs 35; ATM 15 vs 18; GOOD 15 vs 29; ALJAMA 14 vs 31; AIC 10 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 11; COPE 4 vs 5; DM 4 vs 11; PAC 4 vs 11; SACP 3 vs 5; MKP 2 vs 7; Mayibuye Civic Movement 2 vs 10; UDM 2 vs 5; ACT 1 vs 2; DOP 1 vs 4; LABOUR 1 vs 4; SDP 1 vs 2; ACP 0 vs 1; AIM 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 2; FISA 0 vs 3; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 45.39%; its own counts give 49.35% (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: 87 times in 5 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.
