About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 9 240 · spoilt 157 · special votes 203 · 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 (9 145 of 15 169). The IEC publishes 61.0%.

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 2016 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 62 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 5 078 vs 10 702; IFP 1 556 vs 2 589; DLC 574 vs 987; PFU 282 vs 444; MKP 187 vs 402; ERPM 168 vs 310; ANC 156 vs 322; ActionSA 133 vs 246; PEOPLESA 114 vs 208; MF 113 vs 227; 1860NICC 110 vs 240; ACDP 92 vs 181; INDIANCP 84 vs 188; VF PLUS 70 vs 232; ADEC 69 vs 122; PFP 68 vs 113; ALJAMA 46 vs 80; EFF 34 vs 58; IPP 34 vs 121; TA 20 vs 23; AZAPO 9 vs 11; GJDP 9 vs 16; UCDP 8 vs 16; MOSA 7 vs 35; Shall-X - A Shall-X Party 7 vs 10; SUN 6 vs 9; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 7; NDF 5 vs 9; AC 4 vs 6; KZNI 4 vs 6; OHM 4 vs 6; SDF 4 vs 6; AHC 3 vs 10; PRM 3 vs 4; SACP 3 vs 10; TRUTH 3 vs 9; AAC 1 vs 6; ACC 1 vs 8; AIC 1 vs 10; APF 1 vs 11; ARA 1 vs 5; ARM.JBS 1 vs 2; ASC 1 vs 2; JEP 1 vs 5; ABC 0 vs 6; ACT 0 vs 3; AEF 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 17; ARECO 0 vs 1; ARU 0 vs 2; AUC 0 vs 4; B.M. 0 vs 3; EKHETHU 0 vs 3; IYM 0 vs 2; MA AFRIKA 0 vs 9; MAWUSA 0 vs 6; NFP 0 vs 6; NPA 0 vs 1; O.D 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 7; PAC 0 vs 1; PPF 0 vs 27. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 198 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.
