About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 272 · spoilt 35 · special votes 322 · 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 (3 279 of 4 846). The IEC publishes 67.7%.

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 28 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): MKP 1 501 vs 4 480; ANC 898 vs 2 696; IFP 680 vs 2 049; SDP 42 vs 135; NACOL 20 vs 55; MAWUSA 19 vs 46; EFF 12 vs 33; MAYIBUYE 12 vs 36; NFP 11 vs 23; DA 9 vs 20; ATM 7 vs 17; GJDP 5 vs 19; JC 5 vs 11; AEF 4 vs 18; PAC 4 vs 18; SACP 3 vs 18; UCDP 3 vs 11; ABMM 2 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 7; AIC 0 vs 3; AMC.ROY. 0 vs 4; ARU 0 vs 5; ASEP 0 vs 6; I.L.P 0 vs 1; KZNI 0 vs 1; PFP 0 vs 2; PPF 0 vs 1; SIP 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 66 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: uMhlabuyalingana's DC 40% result.
