About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 509 · spoilt 32 · special votes 12 · 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 (2 553 of 5 096). The IEC publishes 51.0%.
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): IFP 740 vs 2 188; MKP 663 vs 2 183; ANC 293 vs 947; AAM 127 vs 343; PVP 125 vs 331; IRC 121 vs 240; DA 120 vs 401; LABOUR 41 vs 74; EFF 33 vs 70; NFP 25 vs 68; NDRF 22 vs 65; AMC.ROY. 20 vs 26; CFP 20 vs 49; SACP 20 vs 63; ActionSA 17 vs 80; A.B.C.D. 14 vs 18; MPM 14 vs 28; ATM 12 vs 38; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 43; JEP 8 vs 15; KZNI 7 vs 24; VF PLUS 5 vs 33; ACC 4 vs 8; ARM.JBS 4 vs 5; SSM 4 vs 7; WAYO 3 vs 7; ALJAMA 2 vs 3; B.M. 2 vs 6; SDP 2 vs 5; ACDP 0 vs 5; AEF 0 vs 2; ARU 0 vs 5; AUP 0 vs 6; IA 0 vs 9; ISP 0 vs 7. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 87 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.
