About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 336 · spoilt 37 · special votes 208 · 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 (3 331 of 5 500). The IEC publishes 60.6%.

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 23 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 152 vs 3 278; IFP 1 083 vs 3 282; MKP 784 vs 2 498; EFF 45 vs 156; DA 43 vs 167; ActionSA 37 vs 107; AEF 30 vs 79; AMC.ROY. 29 vs 45; ACDP 19 vs 58; NPA 19 vs 37; MAYIBUYE 17 vs 39; NFP 10 vs 39; SACP 7 vs 24; ATM 6 vs 18; VF PLUS 6 vs 13; UCDP 5 vs 6; IA 3 vs 13; ARM.JBS 2 vs 9; CCU 1 vs 2; GJDP 1 vs 2; ACC 0 vs 2; ASEP 0 vs 2; UWO 0 vs 8. We show each ballot's own votes.

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

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
