About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 301 · spoilt 35 · special votes 515 · 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 (2 302 of 4 104). The IEC publishes 56.1%.

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 24 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 549 vs 4 609; ActionSA 414 vs 1 164; MAYIBUYE 103 vs 398; EFF 88 vs 286; DA 41 vs 129; GAZA 33 vs 99; AL. 9 vs 24; GLC 8 vs 22; APC 7 vs 13; MKP 4 vs 9; SACP 4 vs 10; EIA 3 vs 5; PA 2 vs 7; ACDP 1 vs 7; AADP 0 vs 1; ATM 0 vs 4; BOSA 0 vs 1; COPE 0 vs 3; G.N.C. 0 vs 3; IRC 0 vs 1; Civic Warriors 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 12; VF PLUS 0 vs 1; XP 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 45 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: Greater Giyani's DC 40% result.

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