About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 159 · spoilt 49 · special votes 309 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (3 152 of 6 069). The IEC publishes 52.3%.
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 33 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 167 vs 3 605; ANC 967 vs 3 007; CFA 258 vs 774; MKP 228 vs 457; ACM 94 vs 285; EFF 91 vs 287; ATM 74 vs 211; APEMO 54 vs 90; VF PLUS 50 vs 162; MAP16 36 vs 92; ACT 17 vs 61; MAYIBUYE 15 vs 47; AHC 13 vs 34; IFP 10 vs 33; SACP 8 vs 21; PAC 6 vs 8; COPE 5 vs 14; L.E.M. 4 vs 7; DPSA 3 vs 5; ECOFORUM 3 vs 11; AASD 2 vs 5; BCMT 2 vs 5; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 1 vs 6; OHM 1 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 9; ActionSA 0 vs 26; AIC 0 vs 10; AULA 0 vs 9; NFP 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 9; SARKO 0 vs 10; UAT 0 vs 10. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 160 times in 8 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.
