About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 492 · spoilt 104 · special votes 15 · 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 (2 501 of 5 697). The IEC publishes 43.9%.
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 32 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 753 vs 2 420; DA 425 vs 1 284; ACT 338 vs 899; SMM 270 vs 766; EFF 181 vs 586; ATM 82 vs 245; ActionSA 69 vs 255; VF PLUS 42 vs 124; MKP 38 vs 78; FDCM 35 vs 97; AIC 31 vs 43; SACP 31 vs 80; KAM 16 vs 27; MCA 15 vs 48; COPE 12 vs 19; MPPF 9 vs 29; PA 9 vs 20; PM 4 vs 8; LENTSWE 3 vs 6; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 11; PCO 2 vs 17; UIM 1 vs 3; URF 1 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 12; AHC 0 vs 6; ALM 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 8; Moqhaka Community Forum 0 vs 1; PAC 0 vs 8; TFP 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 55; UD4 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 80 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.
