About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 647 · spoilt 74 · special votes 70 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (2 642 of 4 489). The IEC publishes 59.0%.
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 20 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): IFP 672 vs 2 022; MKP 628 vs 1 921; ANC 402 vs 1 298; VF PLUS 286 vs 865; APEMO 185 vs 550; DA 121 vs 389; MAYIBUYE 67 vs 147; EFF 49 vs 152; SACP 37 vs 116; NPA 30 vs 81; ATM 25 vs 75; NFP 24 vs 87; AIC 14 vs 28; NEFA 14 vs 33; ACDP 10 vs 23; AC 4 vs 5; UCM 4 vs 23; IRC 1 vs 2; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 5; ARU 0 vs 9. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 103 times in 7 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: Okhahlamba's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
