About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 8 271 · spoilt 32 · special votes 1 035 · 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 (8 548 of 12 570). The IEC publishes 68.5%.

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 6 930 vs 13 851; VF PLUS 314 vs 655; ANC 261 vs 550; EFF 189 vs 374; ActionSA 152 vs 329; ACDP 118 vs 290; UDM 54 vs 154; ATM 49 vs 124; PA 38 vs 88; MKP 26 vs 54; SACP 24 vs 44; GOOD 18 vs 32; ALJAMA 16 vs 38; MAYIBUYE 12 vs 20; AIC 10 vs 13; AIM 5 vs 41; NA 4 vs 9; OHM 3 vs 7; AZAPO 2 vs 20; DM 2 vs 6; E.T.M 2 vs 4; FISA 2 vs 6; PAC 2 vs 6; SDP 2 vs 4; COPE 1 vs 5; ACT 0 vs 3; DOP 0 vs 5; Mayibuye Civic Movement 0 vs 24; P.P 0 vs 1; UPPA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 72 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.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
