About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 026 · spoilt 63 · special votes 34 · All 12 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 12 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 12 voting districts here (2 006 of 4 899). The IEC publishes 41.4%.

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 17 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 185 vs 3 674; DA 134 vs 434; EFF 107 vs 338; MKP 101 vs 322; SACP 93 vs 281; ILB 66 vs 196; AIC 60 vs 173; ATM 55 vs 174; COPE 20 vs 68; APC 9 vs 15; EKHETHU 9 vs 32; ACDP 5 vs 28; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 16; PA 2 vs 9; SRWP 2 vs 3; ARU 0 vs 7; IFP 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 140 times in 12 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: Umzimvubu's DC 40% result.

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