About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 640 · spoilt 41 · special votes 90 · All 3 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 3 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 3 voting districts here (2 585 of 4 742). The IEC publishes 55.7%.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 31 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 906 vs 2 810; ActionSA 491 vs 1 356; IFP 377 vs 1 137; ANC 230 vs 657; PVP 123 vs 364; DA 113 vs 341; IRC 60 vs 227; EFF 52 vs 144; MPM 45 vs 90; ATM 30 vs 104; AUP 26 vs 51; NFP 19 vs 73; WAYO 18 vs 53; NDRF 16 vs 47; MAYIBUYE 14 vs 55; AAM 10 vs 55; IA 10 vs 30; VF PLUS 10 vs 36; SACP 8 vs 26; KZNI 4 vs 6; ISP 1 vs 7; JEP 1 vs 4; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 3; ACC 0 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 5; AEF 0 vs 3; ALJAMA 0 vs 2; ARU 0 vs 14; CFP 0 vs 1; LABOUR 0 vs 1; SSM 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 70 times in 3 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.
