About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 918 · spoilt 41 · special votes 160 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (2 832 of 6 573). The IEC publishes 44.5%.
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 34 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 1 248 vs 3 965; ANC 535 vs 1 367; IFP 418 vs 1 168; DA 209 vs 620; IRC 84 vs 275; ActionSA 70 vs 219; SSM 65 vs 153; EFF 50 vs 153; ARU 32 vs 34; NFP 27 vs 53; PVP 27 vs 71; NDRF 18 vs 43; WAYO 16 vs 41; MPM 12 vs 27; ISP 11 vs 19; VF PLUS 10 vs 36; ATM 8 vs 31; KZNI 8 vs 24; AAM 4 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 17; SACP 4 vs 12; AEF 3 vs 7; JEP 3 vs 5; SDP 3 vs 6; AMC.ROY. 2 vs 6; ARM.JBS 2 vs 3; ACC 1 vs 6; ALJAMA 1 vs 3; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 1; ACDP 0 vs 1; AUP 0 vs 5; B.M. 0 vs 5; CFP 0 vs 10; IA 0 vs 9. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 85 times in 3 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: Newcastle's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
