About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 179 · spoilt 57 · special votes 975 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (3 089 of 6 407). The IEC publishes 49.6%.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 706 vs 5 185; DA 749 vs 2 258; EFF 148 vs 448; VFC 87 vs 272; MAYIBUYE 69 vs 188; MKP 62 vs 88; URF 58 vs 161; AIC 50 vs 76; ATM 46 vs 143; ActionSA 32 vs 112; ACT 24 vs 77; SACP 16 vs 53; VF PLUS 15 vs 49; COPE 12 vs 28; APC 9 vs 11; ECOFORUM 9 vs 16; LABOUR 7 vs 9; AAC 6 vs 7; FISA 4 vs 5; IFP 4 vs 12; PAC 4 vs 6; TRUTH 3 vs 4; ACDP 2 vs 10; ACP 0 vs 9; ALM 0 vs 7; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 12; ARU 0 vs 4; ICOSA 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 33. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 107 times in 5 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.
The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Matjhabeng's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
