About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 6 391 · spoilt 73 · special votes 173 · All 9 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 9 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 9 voting districts here (6 446 of 10 072). The IEC publishes 64.5%.

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 33 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 3 087 vs 9 216; ANC 1 555 vs 4 604; IFP 736 vs 2 434; DA 401 vs 1 387; EFF 92 vs 282; IND 77 vs 201; B.M. 75 vs 218; AIC 69 vs 121; A.B.C.D. 39 vs 76; ATM 39 vs 136; ActionSA 16 vs 65; SACP 13 vs 26; AMC.ROY. 12 vs 29; NFP 12 vs 22; ACC 10 vs 21; MF 9 vs 14; ARU 8 vs 30; JEP 8 vs 22; VF PLUS 8 vs 15; KZNI 7 vs 19; PA 7 vs 14; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 13; TRUTH 4 vs 19; ALJAMA 3 vs 4; APEMO 3 vs 5; NGG 3 vs 13; PAC 3 vs 10; AFNA 2 vs 8; AMSA 2 vs 4; MA AFRIKA 2 vs 4; ABC 0 vs 37; ACDP 0 vs 7; UM 0 vs 6. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 201 times in 9 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.
