About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 512 · spoilt 24 · special votes 72 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (3 698 of 7 283). The IEC publishes 51.2%.
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): MKP 1 427 vs 4 390; ANC 555 vs 1 633; IFP 438 vs 1 671; AAM 288 vs 867; EFF 147 vs 379; DA 140 vs 519; ActionSA 110 vs 367; IRC 70 vs 233; MAYIBUYE 61 vs 135; PVP 56 vs 120; JEP 33 vs 35; MPM 30 vs 75; NDRF 28 vs 76; VF PLUS 20 vs 70; KZNI 13 vs 21; WAYO 8 vs 15; AEF 7 vs 12; SDP 6 vs 11; ACC 5 vs 9; LABOUR 5 vs 12; SACP 5 vs 24; ARU 3 vs 7; IA 3 vs 23; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; ARM.JBS 1 vs 4; CFP 1 vs 9; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 2; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 4; ATM 0 vs 28; AUP 0 vs 10; B.M. 0 vs 4; ISP 0 vs 8; NFP 0 vs 21; SSM 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 113 times in 4 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.
