About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 149 · spoilt 65 · special votes 223 · All 10 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 10 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 10 voting districts here (2 139 of 4 905). The IEC publishes 44.0%.

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 1 047 vs 3 139; SACP 721 vs 2 099; DA 91 vs 258; EFF 91 vs 258; ATM 51 vs 155; MKP 32 vs 87; AIC 15 vs 59; APC 10 vs 11; COPE 8 vs 46; ACDP 6 vs 33; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 13; EKHETHU 4 vs 9; PA 2 vs 7; ARU 0 vs 1; CI 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 9; ILB 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 106 times in 10 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.
