About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 7 136 · spoilt 11 · special votes 387 · 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 (7 133 of 9 763). The IEC publishes 73.2%.

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 25 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 609 vs 11 002; VF PLUS 901 vs 1 884; ANC 260 vs 576; EFF 93 vs 213; ActionSA 90 vs 194; ACDP 39 vs 80; PA 34 vs 73; SACP 28 vs 52; ATM 21 vs 43; BOSA 17 vs 30; PAC 9 vs 14; AASD 7 vs 14; APC 4 vs 5; IFP 3 vs 4; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 4; AACUM 1 vs 2; AIC 1 vs 2; COPE 1 vs 7; LABOUR 1 vs 2; ACT 0 vs 8; AHC 0 vs 1; MKP 0 vs 21; MSPV 0 vs 2; NSDF 0 vs 1; UCDP 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 90 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.
