About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 451 · spoilt 333 · special votes 272 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (3 441 of 7 217). The IEC publishes 47.3%.

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): ANC 1 437 vs 2 946; DA 920 vs 1 802; EFF 223 vs 459; ACIM 94 vs 176; MSPV 74 vs 136; AIC 54 vs 64; SACP 49 vs 83; ActionSA 38 vs 91; ACT 33 vs 64; PA 33 vs 62; NSDF 31 vs 58; VF PLUS 24 vs 47; ACDP 23 vs 46; LABOUR 19 vs 41; ATM 18 vs 37; URF 12 vs 20; AHC 7 vs 12; PAC 7 vs 13; BOSA 5 vs 6; AACUM 4 vs 7; APC 3 vs 6; COPE 2 vs 5; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 3; PMC 2 vs 3; AASD 0 vs 1; MKP 0 vs 9; SUN 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 76 times in 4 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.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
