About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 8 247 · spoilt 125 · special votes 218 · All 8 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 8 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 8 voting districts here (8 188 of 17 765). The IEC publishes 46.8%.

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 57 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 5 508 vs 10 860; ANC 1 281 vs 2 555; IFP 551 vs 1 054; ActionSA 285 vs 702; DA 133 vs 317; EFF 123 vs 209; ATM 54 vs 107; PRM 18 vs 37; IPP 14 vs 28; MF 13 vs 21; MAYIBUYE 11 vs 18; AIC 10 vs 32; JEP 10 vs 19; VF PLUS 10 vs 21; KZNI 9 vs 15; AHC 8 vs 17; PA 8 vs 13; SACP 8 vs 15; AAC 5 vs 8; AFNA 4 vs 7; ARECO 4 vs 5; PAC 4 vs 9; TRUTH 4 vs 5; AC 3 vs 4; AMC.ROY. 3 vs 9; ERPM 3 vs 4; ACC 2 vs 3; AEF 2 vs 5; ARM.JBS 2 vs 3; NDF 2 vs 3; NGG 2 vs 5; NPA 2 vs 3; TA 2 vs 3; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; ASC 1 vs 3; AZAPO 1 vs 2; EKHETHU 1 vs 4; GJDP 1 vs 2; OHM 1 vs 4; PEOPLESA 1 vs 3; 1860NICC 0 vs 1; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 4; ABC 0 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 5; APF 0 vs 1; ARA 0 vs 1; ARRC. 0 vs 1; ARU 0 vs 3; B.M. 0 vs 1; MA AFRIKA 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 3; O.D 0 vs 3; PFP 0 vs 1; SAPM 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 1; 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: 161 times in 8 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.
