About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 905 · spoilt 63 · special votes 70 · 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 (4 901 of 9 412). 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 32 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): DA 3 276 vs 9 985; IFP 544 vs 1 399; MKP 361 vs 1 093; ANC 258 vs 876; ALJAMA 89 vs 178; VF PLUS 67 vs 235; MF 59 vs 101; TRUTH 48 vs 158; ActionSA 24 vs 81; AMSA 24 vs 48; EFF 22 vs 81; PA 22 vs 51; ACC 8 vs 26; AIC 8 vs 33; KZNI 7 vs 14; SACP 7 vs 21; NFP 6 vs 15; AMC.ROY. 3 vs 10; IND 3 vs 12; A.B.C.D. 1 vs 3; JEP 1 vs 6; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 2; NGG 1 vs 4; SAF 1 vs 3; ABC 0 vs 7; ACDP 0 vs 108; ARU 0 vs 7; ATM 0 vs 4; AZAPO 0 vs 1; B.M. 0 vs 8; PAC 0 vs 1; UM 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 122 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.
