About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 261 · spoilt 26 · special votes 122 · All 10 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 10 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 10 voting districts here (2 257 of 3 850). The IEC publishes 59.0%.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 21 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): IFP 632 vs 1 926; MKP 539 vs 1 666; ANC 448 vs 1 310; NFP 232 vs 662; EFF 122 vs 343; NPP 84 vs 164; DA 80 vs 234; NPA 52 vs 157; ATM 11 vs 24; AEF 10 vs 21; SACP 10 vs 26; PAC 7 vs 14; A.B.C.D. 5 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 6; ActionSA 0 vs 1; ARU 0 vs 116; GJDP 0 vs 4; LABOUR 0 vs 3; NAPF 0 vs 2; PCF 0 vs 1; VF PLUS 0 vs 12. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 121 times in 10 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: eDumbe's DC 40% result.

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