About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 8 307 · spoilt 199 · special votes 304 · 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 (8 048 of 17 769). The IEC publishes 46.9%.

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 61 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 5 207 vs 10 115; ANC 1 224 vs 2 485; IFP 495 vs 1 026; ActionSA 213 vs 515; ATM 206 vs 376; DA 198 vs 438; EFF 178 vs 335; SACP 26 vs 33; AIC 21 vs 29; IPP 16 vs 31; KZNI 15 vs 31; AHC 14 vs 25; AUC 12 vs 17; AAC 11 vs 18; JEP 10 vs 23; AC 9 vs 14; MA AFRIKA 9 vs 15; PRM 9 vs 30; APF 8 vs 14; ARECO 8 vs 12; MOSA 8 vs 9; VF PLUS 8 vs 17; B.M. 7 vs 14; ALJAMA 6 vs 8; PA 5 vs 15; AMC.ROY. 4 vs 9; ERPM 4 vs 8; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 15; NPA 4 vs 6; ACT 3 vs 5; AZAPO 3 vs 4; MF 3 vs 9; ACC 2 vs 9; ARA 2 vs 5; ARM.JBS 2 vs 5; DLC 2 vs 3; IYM 2 vs 3; NDF 2 vs 3; TRUTH 2 vs 14; ASC 1 vs 3; INDIANCP 1 vs 4; NGG 1 vs 4; TA 1 vs 2; UCDP 1 vs 3; 1860NICC 0 vs 1; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 5; ABC 0 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 9; AEF 0 vs 4; AFNA 0 vs 2; ARRC. 0 vs 1; ARU 0 vs 16; NFP 0 vs 4; O.D 0 vs 2; OHM 0 vs 5; PAC 0 vs 5; PFU 0 vs 1; SDF 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 2; SUN 0 vs 1; UWO 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 180 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.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
