About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 057 · spoilt 34 · special votes 89 · 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 (3 069 of 6 065). The IEC publishes 50.6%.
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 33 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 1 176 vs 3 480; IFP 626 vs 1 845; ANC 484 vs 1 359; ActionSA 219 vs 731; DA 149 vs 465; IRC 71 vs 257; VF PLUS 66 vs 209; NDRF 45 vs 104; AAM 37 vs 83; EFF 32 vs 105; IA 17 vs 36; SACP 17 vs 28; ATM 16 vs 52; NFP 13 vs 35; MPM 11 vs 36; A.B.C.D. 10 vs 20; KZNI 8 vs 14; WAYO 7 vs 13; ACC 5 vs 6; MAYIBUYE 5 vs 21; JEP 3 vs 8; CFP 2 vs 5; AEF 1 vs 7; ALJAMA 1 vs 4; LABOUR 1 vs 2; SDP 1 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 4; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 2; AUP 0 vs 4; B.M. 0 vs 102; ISP 0 vs 4; PVP 0 vs 1; SSM 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 100 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.
