About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 1 774 · spoilt 8 · special votes 68 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (1 835 of 3 865). The IEC publishes 47.5%.

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 622 vs 2 140; MKP 165 vs 493; DA 162 vs 568; LABOUR 158 vs 320; SACP 132 vs 412; EFF 120 vs 402; OMO 65 vs 135; ActionSA 56 vs 203; IFP 31 vs 85; ATM 21 vs 66; AIC 20 vs 67; MAOC 10 vs 38; ACDP 7 vs 28; MAYIBUYE 6 vs 20; PAC 4 vs 8; VF PLUS 3 vs 17; AGF 1 vs 2; BOSA 1 vs 8; AAAM 0 vs 1; ACP 0 vs 2; ALJAMA 0 vs 1; AZAPO 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 21; RWPP 0 vs 2; TRP 0 vs 4; UAT 0 vs 18; UCDP 0 vs 2; UMBRELLA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 51 times in 2 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.
