About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 001 · spoilt 54 · special votes 308 · 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 (4 991 of 13 272). The IEC publishes 37.7%.
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 52 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 543 vs 3 071; EFF 860 vs 1 707; DA 816 vs 1 584; ActionSA 481 vs 1 099; MKP 464 vs 900; IFP 297 vs 544; MAYIBUYE 100 vs 186; PA 58 vs 105; VF PLUS 54 vs 83; ATM 30 vs 63; ACDP 24 vs 54; AIC 22 vs 46; SACP 22 vs 39; AHC 21 vs 28; DOP 21 vs 40; UMBRELLA 20 vs 32; ALC 11 vs 24; APC 10 vs 17; COPE 8 vs 13; IN 7 vs 11; RISE 7 vs 9; AZAPO 6 vs 7; AACUM 5 vs 9; AGF 5 vs 7; PAC 5 vs 6; UIM 4 vs 7; LABOUR 3 vs 10; MF 3 vs 7; AUC 2 vs 7; BOSA 2 vs 4; ECOFORUM 2 vs 5; EKHETHU 2 vs 3; ICM 2 vs 4; SUN 2 vs 3; TRUTH 2 vs 5; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; FISA 1 vs 2; KYP 1 vs 3; SAPCO 1 vs 2; ABCSP 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 3; ARA 0 vs 1; ARRC. 0 vs 1; CKP 0 vs 5; GFSA 0 vs 2; LBKP 0 vs 1; MAWUSA 0 vs 2; MCM 0 vs 6; NDD 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 6; O.D 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 7. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 115 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.
