About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 488 · spoilt 26 · special votes 218 · 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 (2 563 of 5 094). 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.

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 749 vs 2 268; SMM 576 vs 1 581; DA 382 vs 1 234; EFF 298 vs 1 038; ActionSA 95 vs 345; ACT 81 vs 232; SACP 40 vs 103; PAC 30 vs 99; MKP 28 vs 46; MCA 27 vs 82; URF 23 vs 66; PCO 21 vs 39; VF PLUS 21 vs 76; MPPF 20 vs 45; MAYIBUYE 14 vs 37; AHC 13 vs 24; ATM 11 vs 32; IFP 7 vs 27; PM 7 vs 10; KAM 4 vs 14; FDCM 3 vs 19; PA 3 vs 4; COPE 2 vs 6; LENTSWE 1 vs 6; UIM 1 vs 12; AAA 0 vs 1; ACDP 0 vs 6; AIC 0 vs 18; ALM 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 9; UD4 0 vs 5. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 94 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.

The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Metsimaholo's DC 40% result.

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