About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 5 403 · spoilt 303 · special votes 496 · 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 (5 487 of 9 431). The IEC publishes 58.2%.

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 28 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): PA 2 086 vs 4 107; DA 1 247 vs 2 671; ANC 876 vs 1 761; VF PLUS 571 vs 1 088; EFF 98 vs 201; ActionSA 78 vs 160; ACDP 18 vs 41; AIC 14 vs 34; SACP 14 vs 25; MKP 13 vs 24; PAC 12 vs 18; AAC 8 vs 10; NSDF 8 vs 16; ATM 7 vs 12; AASD 6 vs 13; COPE 6 vs 14; LABOUR 6 vs 8; AHC 4 vs 11; APC 4 vs 11; IFP 4 vs 9; MSPV 4 vs 6; ACT 2 vs 6; BOSA 2 vs 4; UCDP 2 vs 3; AACUM 1 vs 3; ACIM 1 vs 3; URF 1 vs 3; UAT 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 105 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.
