About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 572 · spoilt 126 · special votes 454 · 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 (3 574 of 7 273). The IEC publishes 49.2%.

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 37 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 850 vs 6 131; DA 330 vs 1 089; EFF 237 vs 811; ActionSA 207 vs 730; VF PLUS 144 vs 442; MKP 79 vs 218; GAZA 34 vs 113; EIA 20 vs 58; PAC 11 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 10 vs 39; RISE 9 vs 18; ATM 4 vs 9; COPE 4 vs 13; AAM 3 vs 4; LIRA 3 vs 7; UCDP 3 vs 6; AFP 2 vs 7; APC 2 vs 12; LIMA 2 vs 27; SACP 2 vs 18; AADP 0 vs 1; ACDP 0 vs 19; ACP 0 vs 2; AL. 0 vs 2; BOSA 0 vs 2; GLC 0 vs 3; IFP 0 vs 5; IRC 0 vs 6; KCDP 0 vs 1; MCMPARTY 0 vs 2; NIP 0 vs 10; Mopani Residents Association 0 vs 4; PA 0 vs 7; SDP 0 vs 5; TRUTH 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 24; XP 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 123 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: Greater Tzaneen's DC 40% result.

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