About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 725 · spoilt 24 · special votes 180 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (4 736 of 8 117). The IEC publishes 58.4%.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 2 962 vs 5 831; ANC 719 vs 1 487; VF PLUS 590 vs 1 203; EFF 195 vs 394; ActionSA 56 vs 136; ATM 29 vs 60; PA 27 vs 56; ACDP 23 vs 44; AIC 18 vs 31; MKP 17 vs 36; SACP 16 vs 28; MAYIBUYE 10 vs 19; PAC 5 vs 9; SUN 5 vs 8; AAC 4 vs 7; ACT 4 vs 9; BOSA 4 vs 7; AHC 3 vs 9; ACIM 2 vs 3; COPE 2 vs 4; IFP 2 vs 3; NSDF 2 vs 4; UCDP 2 vs 4; URF 2 vs 4; AACUM 1 vs 2; APC 1 vs 5; AASD 0 vs 3; MSPV 0 vs 1; PMC 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 86 times in 7 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.
