About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 399 · spoilt 59 · special votes 198 · 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 (2 401 of 4 997). The IEC publishes 47.9%.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 15 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 312 vs 3 923; EFF 282 vs 895; SACP 245 vs 732; DA 202 vs 636; ATM 106 vs 339; AHC 77 vs 103; PAC 33 vs 57; PA 23 vs 80; CIVIC 16 vs 77; MKP 15 vs 55; VF PLUS 10 vs 37; IFP 8 vs 17; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 18; AZAPO 2 vs 3; AIC 0 vs 40. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 73 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Senqu's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
