About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 8 724 · spoilt 364 · special votes 232 · All 9 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 9 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 9 voting districts here (8 717 of 16 267). The IEC publishes 52.0%.

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.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 68 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 3 812 vs 7 530; DA 2 075 vs 4 151; ANC 1 568 vs 3 241; IFP 192 vs 411; MF 72 vs 122; EFF 59 vs 108; SDF 50 vs 83; ACDP 47 vs 93; ActionSA 47 vs 103; ALJAMA 41 vs 75; AIC 37 vs 50; PFP 31 vs 52; ATM 29 vs 52; 1860NICC 26 vs 42; PRM 22 vs 37; ARECO 21 vs 23; DLC 20 vs 28; MAYIBUYE 20 vs 41; VF PLUS 15 vs 37; AUC 14 vs 25; AHC 12 vs 33; MOSA 12 vs 21; PEOPLESA 10 vs 29; B.M. 9 vs 22; AAC 8 vs 12; ADEC 8 vs 10; ARM.JBS 8 vs 14; ERPM 8 vs 14; IPP 8 vs 16; KZNI 8 vs 13; SACP 6 vs 12; ACC 5 vs 10; AMC.ROY. 5 vs 11; GJDP 5 vs 7; AC 4 vs 18; AFNA 4 vs 8; JEP 4 vs 10; OHM 4 vs 7; PAC 4 vs 7; PFU 4 vs 8; AZAPO 3 vs 4; NGG 3 vs 6; SDP 3 vs 7; TA 3 vs 8; APF 2 vs 4; NDF 2 vs 4; TRUTH 2 vs 10; AEF 1 vs 6; ANOSA 1 vs 3; ARA 1 vs 3; ASC 1 vs 2; IYM 1 vs 3; Shall-X - A Shall-X Party 1 vs 2; UCDP 1 vs 2; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 7; ABC 0 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 2; ARU 0 vs 4; EKHETHU 0 vs 7; INDIANCP 0 vs 3; MA AFRIKA 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 7; NPA 0 vs 2; O.D 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 5; PPF 0 vs 2; SAPM 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: 201 times in 9 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.
