About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 510 · spoilt 44 · special votes 470 · 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 (3 510 of 7 057). The IEC publishes 49.8%.
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 1 501 vs 4 755; IFP 619 vs 1 813; ANC 511 vs 1 517; EFF 166 vs 391; ActionSA 163 vs 506; DA 130 vs 401; IRC 79 vs 211; LABOUR 49 vs 85; MPM 45 vs 142; IA 43 vs 109; NDRF 29 vs 72; MAYIBUYE 28 vs 79; VF PLUS 27 vs 90; A.B.C.D. 23 vs 35; AAM 21 vs 59; ARU 5 vs 11; B.M. 5 vs 7; JEP 5 vs 7; SACP 5 vs 16; ALJAMA 4 vs 8; WAYO 3 vs 5; ACC 2 vs 9; AEF 2 vs 5; CFP 1 vs 3; ACDP 0 vs 5; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 4; ARM.JBS 0 vs 3; ATM 0 vs 28; AUP 0 vs 6; ISP 0 vs 1; KZNI 0 vs 4; NFP 0 vs 8; PVP 0 vs 22; SDP 0 vs 3; SSM 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 98 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.
