About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 586 · spoilt 84 · special votes 138 · 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 (4 641 of 7 006). The IEC publishes 66.3%.
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 35 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): IFP 1 569 vs 4 606; MKP 1 453 vs 4 483; ANC 752 vs 2 166; DA 377 vs 1 336; IND 96 vs 267; SACP 64 vs 186; EFF 19 vs 66; AMSA 17 vs 28; ACC 16 vs 17; JEP 15 vs 43; NFP 14 vs 38; ActionSA 13 vs 72; B.M. 13 vs 36; KZNI 13 vs 23; ATM 12 vs 33; AIC 6 vs 31; MA AFRIKA 6 vs 10; PA 6 vs 7; A.B.C.D. 5 vs 15; AMC.ROY. 5 vs 17; VF PLUS 5 vs 23; PAC 4 vs 5; ALJAMA 3 vs 5; AZAPO 3 vs 5; MAYIBUYE 3 vs 10; NGG 3 vs 14; OHM 3 vs 4; AFNA 2 vs 6; APEMO 2 vs 4; MF 2 vs 10; TRUTH 1 vs 4; ABC 0 vs 9; ACDP 0 vs 7; ARU 0 vs 7; SAF 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 163 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.
