About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 8 095 · spoilt 37 · special votes 1 298 · 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 (8 279 of 12 363). The IEC publishes 67.0%.

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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 6 464 vs 12 868; VF PLUS 507 vs 1 121; ANC 325 vs 655; ACDP 174 vs 327; EFF 174 vs 415; PA 143 vs 348; ALJAMA 52 vs 102; ActionSA 48 vs 89; UDM 34 vs 59; GOOD 19 vs 34; SACP 18 vs 40; ATM 15 vs 43; MAYIBUYE 15 vs 21; MKP 15 vs 40; Mayibuye Civic Movement 14 vs 35; DM 8 vs 22; E.T.M 7 vs 13; AIM 5 vs 10; OHM 4 vs 7; PAC 4 vs 9; ACT 2 vs 3; AIC 2 vs 6; AZAPO 2 vs 5; COPE 2 vs 3; LABOUR 1 vs 2; NA 1 vs 2; APPEIR 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 4; FISA 0 vs 4; UPPA 0 vs 8. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 77 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.
