About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 745 · spoilt 54 · special votes 113 · 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 (4 747 of 8 125). The IEC publishes 58.5%.
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 31 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 2 209 vs 6 782; ANC 1 786 vs 5 548; DA 100 vs 380; IFP 84 vs 265; IND 40 vs 205; AIC 34 vs 77; ActionSA 28 vs 69; EFF 24 vs 82; KZNI 24 vs 49; SACP 19 vs 58; VF PLUS 12 vs 25; AMC.ROY. 10 vs 26; MAYIBUYE 7 vs 20; PA 5 vs 14; JEP 4 vs 13; A.B.C.D. 3 vs 9; AMSA 3 vs 11; B.M. 3 vs 7; PAC 3 vs 12; NFP 2 vs 7; NGG 2 vs 9; TRUTH 2 vs 13; APEMO 1 vs 2; ARU 1 vs 9; MF 1 vs 2; SAF 1 vs 2; ABC 0 vs 9; ACC 0 vs 26; ACDP 0 vs 4; ALJAMA 0 vs 6; ATM 0 vs 10. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 116 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.
