About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 785 · spoilt 60 · special votes 141 · 6 of 7 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)
Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 6 voting districts with results so far here (3 744 of 6 308). The IEC publishes 60.0%.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
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): IFP 863 vs 2 675; IND 798 vs 2 271; MKP 700 vs 2 143; DA 431 vs 1 363; ANC 363 vs 1 090; MAYIBUYE 352 vs 981; EFF 31 vs 83; AIC 27 vs 52; JEP 23 vs 63; A.B.C.D. 21 vs 29; ATM 15 vs 44; ACDP 13 vs 41; ActionSA 11 vs 46; SACP 8 vs 19; AMC.ROY. 7 vs 21; MF 7 vs 15; NFP 7 vs 19; PAC 7 vs 10; KZNI 6 vs 27; PA 6 vs 12; VF PLUS 5 vs 18; ARU 3 vs 12; B.M. 3 vs 8; AMSA 2 vs 3; OHM 2 vs 4; TRUTH 2 vs 7; ALJAMA 1 vs 3; NGG 1 vs 3; ABC 0 vs 7; ACC 0 vs 8; 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: 132 times in 6 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.
