About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 12 870 · spoilt 54 · special votes 623 · 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 (12 840 of 18 834). The IEC publishes 68.6%.
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 45 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 8 913 vs 17 729; VF PLUS 2 452 vs 4 733; ActionSA 750 vs 1 622; ANC 343 vs 682; EFF 148 vs 292; RISE 82 vs 166; BOSA 25 vs 52; PA 25 vs 44; PAC 19 vs 31; SACP 13 vs 23; UIM 5 vs 9; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 13; AZAPO 3 vs 6; COPE 3 vs 6; OHM 3 vs 4; RC 3 vs 6; AIC 2 vs 10; APC 2 vs 4; PTA012 2 vs 3; AACUM 1 vs 2; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; BPCSDT 1 vs 2; BPSA 1 vs 2; ECOFORUM 1 vs 2; MF 1 vs 3; SPPSA 1 vs 2; A.T.C. 0 vs 1; ACDP 0 vs 42; ACP 0 vs 1; AGANG SA 0 vs 1; AHC 0 vs 3; AIPO 0 vs 3; ARECO 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 18; CCC 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 6; FISA 0 vs 6; IFP 0 vs 1; MKP 0 vs 34; NADECO 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 1; Bophuthatswana Civil Movement 0 vs 2; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 3; UCDP 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 76 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.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
