About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 7 423 · spoilt 664 · special votes 337 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (6 999 of 15 627). The IEC publishes 47.3%.

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): ActionSA 2 229 vs 4 649; ANC 1 598 vs 3 218; EFF 1 118 vs 2 205; DA 529 vs 980; ICM 500 vs 803; PA 166 vs 196; VF PLUS 147 vs 191; MKP 107 vs 227; AIC 53 vs 78; ECOFORUM 34 vs 37; MAYIBUYE 32 vs 70; PAC 31 vs 59; RISE 30 vs 52; SACP 25 vs 53; ATM 19 vs 39; MCM 19 vs 32; SUN 12 vs 13; APC 10 vs 16; ACDP 8 vs 13; ACT 8 vs 13; AHC 8 vs 17; BPSA 8 vs 13; BOSA 7 vs 13; ACP 4 vs 13; IRASA 4 vs 20; AACUM 3 vs 8; AUC 3 vs 17; NADECO 3 vs 5; P 3 vs 4; ARA 2 vs 3; AZAPO 2 vs 3; FISA 2 vs 5; EKHETHU 1 vs 3; MF 1 vs 2; MRP 1 vs 2; ABCSP 0 vs 1; ALC 0 vs 3; APSP 0 vs 1; ARRC. 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 7; LAND 0 vs 2; LBKP 0 vs 2; MAWUSA 0 vs 2; MECA 0 vs 1; MOVE 0 vs 1; NDD 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 17; UIM 0 vs 4; URF 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 47.34%; its own counts give 44.79% (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: 163 times in 7 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.
