About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 1 691 · spoilt 34 · special votes 252 · All 11 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 11 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 11 voting districts here (1 672 of 3 632). The IEC publishes 46.6%.
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 13 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 180 vs 3 535; DA 170 vs 499; EFF 122 vs 356; ATM 55 vs 159; VF PLUS 40 vs 121; CIVIC 25 vs 74; AHC 24 vs 42; IFP 15 vs 43; SACP 12 vs 32; PA 4 vs 11; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 10; AIC 0 vs 20; MKP 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 103 times in 11 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Senqu's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
