About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 203 · spoilt 103 · special votes 51 · 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 (2 170 of 5 290). The IEC publishes 41.6%.

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 25 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 602 vs 1 869; LABOUR 477 vs 962; IFP 286 vs 851; DA 154 vs 493; MKP 146 vs 487; EFF 107 vs 356; ACDP 84 vs 249; AIC 58 vs 112; SACP 58 vs 163; OMO 43 vs 86; ActionSA 39 vs 128; MAYIBUYE 13 vs 51; VF PLUS 8 vs 38; AGF 3 vs 5; MAOC 3 vs 16; BOSA 1 vs 2; ACP 0 vs 3; ALJAMA 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 42; AZAPO 0 vs 1; FISA 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 4; RWPP 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 3; UCDP 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 70 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.

The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Merafong City's DC 40% result.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
