About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 6 478 · spoilt 70 · special votes 251 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (6 501 of 17 971). The IEC publishes 36.2%.
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.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 64 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 1 986 vs 3 909; MKP 1 734 vs 3 447; ANC 840 vs 1 720; IFP 425 vs 875; ActionSA 391 vs 829; EFF 375 vs 744; ALJAMA 164 vs 313; VF PLUS 76 vs 152; ATM 72 vs 141; ERPM 50 vs 102; MAYIBUYE 41 vs 70; PRM 26 vs 29; ACDP 23 vs 58; ACC 21 vs 46; NGG 16 vs 33; TA 14 vs 22; TRUTH 14 vs 24; 1860NICC 13 vs 23; ANOSA 12 vs 21; SACP 10 vs 21; AUC 8 vs 11; AMC.ROY. 7 vs 15; IPP 7 vs 14; MF 7 vs 19; INDIANCP 6 vs 11; ARA 5 vs 9; AZAPO 5 vs 7; JEP 5 vs 11; KZNI 5 vs 6; NDF 5 vs 6; AFNA 4 vs 7; AIC 4 vs 10; DLC 4 vs 7; AAC 3 vs 5; UCDP 3 vs 6; AC 2 vs 3; ADEC 2 vs 4; AHC 2 vs 14; APF 2 vs 4; ARECO 2 vs 3; IYM 2 vs 4; NPA 2 vs 5; Shall-X - A Shall-X Party 2 vs 5; SUN 2 vs 3; EKHETHU 1 vs 3; GJDP 1 vs 2; MOSA 1 vs 4; PAC 1 vs 5; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 2; ABC 0 vs 2; ACT 0 vs 3; AEF 0 vs 4; B.M. 0 vs 2; MA AFRIKA 0 vs 1; MAWUSA 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 3; O.D 0 vs 2; OHM 0 vs 4; PA 0 vs 17; PFP 0 vs 3; PFU 0 vs 1; PPF 0 vs 1; SDF 0 vs 1; UWO 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 111 times in 3 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.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
