About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 443 · spoilt 51 · special votes 499 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (3 443 of 6 004). The IEC publishes 57.4%.
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.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 28 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 175 vs 3 688; EFF 486 vs 1 432; DA 411 vs 1 438; VF PLUS 223 vs 679; ActionSA 164 vs 521; MKP 92 vs 376; OMO 64 vs 145; PAC 57 vs 625; LABOUR 48 vs 110; SACP 44 vs 133; PA 43 vs 146; TRP 14 vs 26; ATM 11 vs 38; AIC 10 vs 82; IFP 10 vs 50; MAOC 9 vs 65; BOSA 5 vs 20; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 25; ACDP 3 vs 14; FISA 3 vs 6; AAAM 0 vs 1; ACP 0 vs 3; ALJAMA 0 vs 3; AZAPO 0 vs 2; RWPP 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 13; UCDP 0 vs 1; UMBRELLA 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 116 times in 5 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: Merafong City's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
