About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 090 · spoilt 35 · special votes 245 · All 9 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 9 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 9 voting districts here (3 144 of 5 297). The IEC publishes 59.4%.
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.
The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 17 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 646 vs 4 871; MKP 654 vs 2 019; IFP 527 vs 1 599; DA 201 vs 584; EFF 6 vs 22; ATM 5 vs 13; JEP 5 vs 19; NFP 5 vs 21; PA 3 vs 6; MAYIBUYE 2 vs 3; A.B.C.D. 0 vs 8; ABC 0 vs 9; AEF 0 vs 1; ARU 0 vs 6; NADECO 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 1; VF PLUS 0 vs 14. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 70 times in 9 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: uMvoti's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
