About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 7 001 · spoilt 32 · special votes 2 177 · 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 (7 308 of 11 174). The IEC publishes 65.7%.

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 28 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 019 vs 10 951; ACDP 874 vs 1 130; VF PLUS 278 vs 678; ANC 213 vs 446; EFF 84 vs 202; Mayibuye Civic Movement 70 vs 75; PA 68 vs 140; ALJAMA 59 vs 103; ActionSA 52 vs 108; UDM 47 vs 67; GOOD 36 vs 62; APC 31 vs 33; ATM 26 vs 49; SACP 19 vs 33; MAYIBUYE 8 vs 21; MKP 8 vs 19; PAC 8 vs 14; AZAPO 5 vs 7; OHM 4 vs 5; AIC 3 vs 13; COPE 3 vs 8; DM 2 vs 7; DOP 2 vs 5; ACT 0 vs 1; AIM 0 vs 5; LABOUR 0 vs 1; PCAM 0 vs 1; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 67 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.
