About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 503 · spoilt 48 · special votes 140 · 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 (3 457 of 6 148). The IEC publishes 57.2%.
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 1 623 vs 5 081; ANC 472 vs 1 354; IFP 449 vs 1 245; MPM 252 vs 683; ActionSA 152 vs 417; IRC 91 vs 298; DA 81 vs 268; MAYIBUYE 50 vs 91; EFF 45 vs 134; NDRF 41 vs 99; AAM 33 vs 152; IA 21 vs 60; VF PLUS 17 vs 66; A.B.C.D. 9 vs 15; SACP 8 vs 28; CFP 7 vs 23; ACC 6 vs 10; JEP 6 vs 13; LABOUR 4 vs 15; AMC.ROY. 3 vs 4; ARU 3 vs 20; B.M. 3 vs 4; KZNI 3 vs 12; WAYO 2 vs 4; ALJAMA 1 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 1; AEF 0 vs 1; ARM.JBS 0 vs 2; ATM 0 vs 17; AUP 0 vs 7; ISP 0 vs 25; NFP 0 vs 11; SSM 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 106 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.
