About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 4 480 · spoilt 36 · special votes 153 · 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 (4 542 of 11 375). The IEC publishes 40.0%.

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 26 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 2 165 vs 4 339; EFF 777 vs 1 551; ANC 420 vs 776; VF PLUS 332 vs 694; ActionSA 301 vs 657; MKP 161 vs 320; ATM 118 vs 256; PA 73 vs 145; SACP 21 vs 40; IFP 15 vs 34; ACDP 14 vs 43; BOSA 9 vs 25; PAC 8 vs 15; AIC 6 vs 9; COPE 6 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 6; PMC 2 vs 3; AACUM 1 vs 2; AASD 1 vs 3; LABOUR 1 vs 2; SUN 1 vs 2; UCDP 1 vs 8; ACT 0 vs 3; MSPV 0 vs 1; NSDF 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 97 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.
