About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 779 · spoilt 43 · special votes 163 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (2 804 of 5 293). The IEC publishes 53.0%.
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 692 vs 2 258; IFP 549 vs 1 641; ANC 369 vs 1 111; NDRF 341 vs 933; EFF 291 vs 843; DA 111 vs 358; ActionSA 66 vs 245; IRC 65 vs 229; AAM 57 vs 175; MAYIBUYE 43 vs 125; A.B.C.D. 14 vs 16; ATM 14 vs 44; SACP 11 vs 41; CFP 9 vs 13; MPM 7 vs 16; SDP 7 vs 13; VF PLUS 7 vs 26; AMC.ROY. 6 vs 11; AEF 5 vs 17; KZNI 5 vs 74; ARM.JBS 4 vs 6; IA 4 vs 12; JEP 4 vs 5; ACC 3 vs 4; B.M. 3 vs 8; NFP 3 vs 11; WAYO 2 vs 4; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 2; AUP 0 vs 3; ISP 0 vs 5; PVP 0 vs 1; SSM 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 60 times in 2 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.
