About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 723 · spoilt 58 · special votes 250 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (2 723 of 5 454). The IEC publishes 49.9%.
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 36 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ACM 917 vs 2 821; ANC 779 vs 2 409; DA 324 vs 1 000; L.E.M. 99 vs 153; EFF 89 vs 271; PA 81 vs 229; ATM 79 vs 218; DPSA 52 vs 145; MAP16 52 vs 133; MKP 44 vs 94; BCMT 31 vs 80; SACP 22 vs 51; APEMO 16 vs 36; VF PLUS 15 vs 44; AHC 13 vs 39; AMC.ROY. 10 vs 41; COPE 8 vs 10; MAYIBUYE 8 vs 18; ACT 7 vs 44; ECOFORUM 5 vs 14; SARKO 4 vs 9; CFA 3 vs 15; IFP 3 vs 7; OHM 3 vs 4; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; AASD 0 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 25; ActionSA 0 vs 20; AIC 0 vs 3; AULA 0 vs 4; EKHETHU 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 2; Nketoane Community Movement 0 vs 8; PAC 0 vs 8; SSDF 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 39. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 148 times in 6 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: Maluti a Phofung's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
