About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 4 815 · spoilt 73 · special votes 215 · All 5 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 5 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 5 voting districts here (4 796 of 8 759). The IEC publishes 55.4%.

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 33 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 2 676 vs 8 055; ANC 1 289 vs 3 643; DA 255 vs 706; IFP 197 vs 527; EFF 71 vs 226; ActionSA 53 vs 185; IND 51 vs 150; SACP 32 vs 85; ATM 18 vs 37; AIC 17 vs 51; VF PLUS 15 vs 47; MAYIBUYE 13 vs 33; NFP 12 vs 26; KZNI 6 vs 16; NGG 6 vs 11; OHM 6 vs 8; ACC 4 vs 5; JEP 4 vs 11; A.B.C.D. 3 vs 8; ARU 3 vs 9; PA 3 vs 4; AMC.ROY. 1 vs 129; AMSA 1 vs 2; APEMO 1 vs 2; AZAPO 1 vs 2; MF 1 vs 3; TRUTH 1 vs 4; ABC 0 vs 9; ACDP 0 vs 11; ALJAMA 0 vs 1; B.M. 0 vs 58; SAF 0 vs 1; UM 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 102 times in 5 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.

The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Msunduzi's DC 40% result.

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