About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 675 · spoilt 29 · special votes 474 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (2 510 of 5 810). The IEC publishes 46.0%.
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 27 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 646 vs 1 952; DA 457 vs 1 432; EFF 415 vs 1 029; SMM 340 vs 893; ACT 270 vs 675; SACP 114 vs 315; ActionSA 89 vs 286; LENTSWE 88 vs 188; ATM 48 vs 129; AIC 31 vs 63; MAYIBUYE 27 vs 76; VF PLUS 21 vs 55; MCA 20 vs 80; MKP 19 vs 28; FDCM 11 vs 18; PAC 10 vs 18; PM 10 vs 18; PCO 7 vs 13; COPE 6 vs 11; AHC 4 vs 6; KAM 4 vs 11; PA 2 vs 4; MPPF 1 vs 8; ACDP 0 vs 1; ALM 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 5; UAT 0 vs 27. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 46.04%; its own counts give 43.20% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 49 times in 2 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.
