About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 10 391 · spoilt 127 · special votes 728 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (10 359 of 19 791). The IEC publishes 52.8%.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 58 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 3 548 vs 7 132; DA 3 221 vs 6 336; ANC 2 010 vs 3 894; ActionSA 319 vs 900; IFP 319 vs 667; EFF 147 vs 322; VF PLUS 127 vs 271; ATM 84 vs 171; ACDP 81 vs 149; PA 31 vs 50; SACP 29 vs 46; AIC 28 vs 52; IPP 11 vs 17; KZNI 11 vs 14; NGG 11 vs 27; NFP 10 vs 18; AUC 8 vs 15; 1860NICC 7 vs 12; INDIANCP 7 vs 9; ALJAMA 5 vs 9; ARU 5 vs 6; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 14; PEOPLESA 5 vs 6; AC 4 vs 5; AFNA 4 vs 5; AZAPO 4 vs 5; ERPM 4 vs 8; PAC 4 vs 9; PRM 4 vs 13; AAC 3 vs 6; AHC 3 vs 10; ARA 3 vs 6; MF 3 vs 12; OHM 3 vs 7; AMC.ROY. 2 vs 8; APF 2 vs 3; IYM 2 vs 4; JEP 2 vs 9; Shall-X - A Shall-X Party 2 vs 3; ACC 1 vs 2; ANOSA 1 vs 2; ARECO 1 vs 3; ASC 1 vs 3; B.M. 1 vs 8; UCDP 1 vs 2; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 1; ABC 0 vs 8; ACT 0 vs 2; ADEC 0 vs 1; AEF 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 1; GJDP 0 vs 1; MOSA 0 vs 2; NDF 0 vs 2; PFP 0 vs 1; PPF 0 vs 1; TRUTH 0 vs 2; UWO 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 168 times in 7 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.
