About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 4 573 · spoilt 131 · special votes 182 · All 12 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 12 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 12 voting districts here (4 571 of 9 115). The IEC publishes 50.4%.

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.

The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 32 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 152 vs 4 323; DA 940 vs 1 874; EFF 394 vs 786; MSPV 332 vs 628; ActionSA 99 vs 203; ACIM 98 vs 206; AASD 52 vs 107; MKP 42 vs 79; NSDF 42 vs 80; AIC 39 vs 51; ATM 36 vs 77; SACP 34 vs 72; LABOUR 29 vs 66; AHC 28 vs 45; ACDP 19 vs 37; VF PLUS 19 vs 46; SUN 17 vs 30; APC 10 vs 23; PA 9 vs 23; PAC 9 vs 18; COPE 8 vs 13; AACUM 6 vs 9; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 8; BOSA 5 vs 10; URF 5 vs 8; AAC 4 vs 12; PMC 3 vs 5; UCDP 3 vs 6; IFP 2 vs 4; ACT 0 vs 8; SARKO 0 vs 5; UAT 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 213 times in 12 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.
