About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 930 · spoilt 38 · special votes 143 · 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 (2 701 of 5 451). The IEC publishes 53.8%.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 34 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 951 vs 2 965; ANC 522 vs 1 489; IFP 438 vs 1 256; DA 281 vs 808; EFF 185 vs 490; ATM 149 vs 172; ActionSA 130 vs 205; AAM 75 vs 176; ISP 40 vs 120; NFP 33 vs 76; NDRF 19 vs 38; IA 12 vs 25; PVP 10 vs 18; MPM 9 vs 29; SACP 6 vs 15; SSM 5 vs 18; AUP 4 vs 11; JEP 4 vs 7; MAYIBUYE 4 vs 54; KZNI 3 vs 7; B.M. 2 vs 5; LABOUR 2 vs 6; VF PLUS 2 vs 12; ACC 1 vs 2; ARM.JBS 1 vs 3; CFP 1 vs 4; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 3; AEF 0 vs 5; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 1; ARU 0 vs 1; IRC 0 vs 103; SDP 0 vs 1; WAYO 0 vs 3.

Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 53.81%; its own counts give 49.55% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 87 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.
