About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 5 942 · spoilt 100 · special votes 535 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (5 870 of 14 901). The IEC publishes 39.9%.
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 53 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 2 423 vs 4 786; ANC 1 836 vs 3 756; ATM 554 vs 1 090; EFF 338 vs 655; IFP 207 vs 408; DA 128 vs 254; ActionSA 88 vs 208; AIC 41 vs 68; MAYIBUYE 20 vs 38; PRM 17 vs 22; AAC 15 vs 19; MAWUSA 13 vs 25; JEP 12 vs 14; SACP 12 vs 13; VF PLUS 12 vs 24; PAC 9 vs 11; PFP 7 vs 8; AFNA 6 vs 7; ARECO 6 vs 7; AMC.ROY. 5 vs 7; AUC 5 vs 9; EKHETHU 5 vs 6; ARA 4 vs 5; ALJAMA 3 vs 5; GJDP 3 vs 5; IYM 3 vs 4; PEOPLESA 3 vs 5; SUN 3 vs 4; TRUTH 3 vs 6; AEF 2 vs 4; B.M. 2 vs 3; Shall-X - A Shall-X Party 2 vs 3; TA 2 vs 5; ACDP 1 vs 2; APF 1 vs 6; NDF 1 vs 2; NGG 1 vs 2; OHM 1 vs 8; 1860NICC 0 vs 2; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 5; ABC 0 vs 9; ACC 0 vs 1; ACT 0 vs 1; AHC 0 vs 4; ARU 0 vs 2; MA AFRIKA 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 3; NPA 0 vs 2; O.D 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 3; PPF 0 vs 1; SAPM 0 vs 1; UWO 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 136 times in 4 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.
