About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 718 · spoilt 130 · special votes 64 · 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 (2 703 of 5 367). The IEC publishes 50.8%.

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): IFP 831 vs 2 484; MKP 782 vs 2 401; ActionSA 370 vs 1 089; ANC 183 vs 567; DA 105 vs 306; IRC 65 vs 219; AAM 44 vs 119; NDRF 39 vs 133; NFP 29 vs 76; EFF 18 vs 68; ARM.JBS 15 vs 26; A.B.C.D. 12 vs 20; MAYIBUYE 12 vs 20; AMC.ROY. 10 vs 13; LABOUR 10 vs 20; MPM 9 vs 13; SACP 9 vs 31; JEP 8 vs 23; AEF 6 vs 8; WAYO 6 vs 8; CFP 5 vs 12; KZNI 5 vs 14; ARU 3 vs 5; SDP 3 vs 6; VF PLUS 3 vs 18; ACC 1 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 13; ATM 0 vs 25; AUP 0 vs 6; B.M. 0 vs 8; IA 0 vs 5; ISP 0 vs 7; PVP 0 vs 68; SSM 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 106 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.
