About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 15 770 · spoilt 70 · special votes 772 · All 13 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 13 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 13 voting districts here (15 635 of 23 094). The IEC publishes 68.4%.

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.

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 51 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 6 848 vs 13 380; ActionSA 4 154 vs 8 865; ANC 1 847 vs 3 448; VF PLUS 1 082 vs 2 132; EFF 978 vs 1 828; RISE 198 vs 352; MKP 158 vs 288; ACDP 79 vs 186; SACP 70 vs 131; BOSA 59 vs 110; ALJAMA 52 vs 115; PA 29 vs 53; MAYIBUYE 25 vs 43; MF 17 vs 28; OHM 11 vs 23; COPE 9 vs 12; AIC 8 vs 21; PAC 7 vs 17; UMBRELLA 6 vs 9; SDP 5 vs 8; AGANG SA 3 vs 6; AHC 3 vs 7; DITAU 3 vs 4; AACUM 2 vs 7; APC 2 vs 5; ARA 2 vs 3; AZAPO 2 vs 4; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 2 vs 6; PTA012 2 vs 3; UIM 2 vs 4; FISA 1 vs 4; MOSHABI 1 vs 2; SPPSA 1 vs 2; A.T.C. 0 vs 1; ACP 0 vs 1; AIPO 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 4; ATM 0 vs 46; BPSA 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 2; DOP 0 vs 3; ERM 0 vs 1; GAZA 0 vs 3; ICM 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 15; IRC 0 vs 2; LAND 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 8; UCDP 0 vs 1; UPPA 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 222 times in 13 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.
