About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 680 · spoilt 41 · special votes 194 · 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 (2 578 of 5 271). The IEC publishes 50.9%.
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 35 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 656 vs 5 023; ActionSA 265 vs 865; EFF 250 vs 824; KCDP 97 vs 156; GAZA 66 vs 168; DA 61 vs 219; MAYIBUYE 27 vs 67; Mopani Residents Association 24 vs 75; MCM 15 vs 29; SACP 11 vs 34; MKP 7 vs 11; ACDP 5 vs 23; APC 5 vs 19; PA 4 vs 10; RISE 4 vs 6; VF PLUS 4 vs 17; ATM 3 vs 15; AAM 2 vs 7; AFP 1 vs 3; UCDP 1 vs 4; AADP 0 vs 4; ACO 0 vs 1; AL. 0 vs 2; EIA 0 vs 4; IFP 0 vs 1; IRC 0 vs 1; LIMA 0 vs 4; LIRA 0 vs 1; MCMPARTY 0 vs 6; NIP 0 vs 1; Civic Warriors 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 2; TRUTH 0 vs 2; UAT 0 vs 31; XP 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: the IEC's published turnout for this ward is 50.94%; its own counts give 48.91% (PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters in its voting districts); we show the calculated figure.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 129 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.
