About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 588 · spoilt 160 · special votes 227 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (3 626 of 7 790). The IEC publishes 46.8%.
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 31 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 803 vs 3 573; DA 597 vs 1 197; EFF 403 vs 818; PA 116 vs 229; MSPV 77 vs 141; SACP 73 vs 143; ActionSA 55 vs 128; BOSA 44 vs 107; UCDP 37 vs 69; ACT 35 vs 57; AIC 30 vs 52; VF PLUS 28 vs 68; ATM 26 vs 59; AACUM 16 vs 30; ACIM 10 vs 23; APC 9 vs 13; IFP 9 vs 18; AAC 8 vs 12; AASD 8 vs 13; ACDP 7 vs 18; COPE 7 vs 15; MAYIBUYE 7 vs 16; URF 7 vs 9; SARKO 6 vs 14; AHC 4 vs 21; LABOUR 3 vs 4; SUN 3 vs 4; MKP 0 vs 13; NSDF 0 vs 6; PAC 0 vs 3; UAT 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 131 times in 6 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.
