About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 859 · spoilt 43 · special votes 444 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (2 954 of 6 055). The IEC publishes 48.8%.
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 39 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 233 vs 3 665; ANC 701 vs 2 149; EFF 212 vs 578; MKP 130 vs 443; ActionSA 97 vs 396; PAC 86 vs 230; SACP 84 vs 237; ACSA 58 vs 167; VF PLUS 44 vs 135; ACT 31 vs 34; VAAL 23 vs 55; IFP 17 vs 37; PA 16 vs 23; ACP 15 vs 55; APC 11 vs 18; ATM 9 vs 61; Elf-SA - Economic Liberators Forum South Africa 9 vs 76; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 25; AAC 5 vs 8; AZAPO 5 vs 8; MOVE 5 vs 7; ARA 3 vs 13; UCO 3 vs 8; ALJAMA 2 vs 6; BOSA 2 vs 6; AEF 1 vs 5; COPE 1 vs 11; AAAIC 0 vs 1; ACDP 0 vs 5; ARRC. 0 vs 3; BUYISA 0 vs 1; DITAU 0 vs 12; KYP 0 vs 1; SARKO 0 vs 5; SDP 0 vs 1; SERA 0 vs 1; TYM 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 22; VDM 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 78 times in 3 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: Emfuleni's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
