About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 031 · spoilt 71 · special votes 219 · All 6 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 6 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 6 voting districts here (2 043 of 4 825). The IEC publishes 42.6%.
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.
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 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 106 vs 3 289; EFF 368 vs 1 098; ActionSA 145 vs 457; DA 120 vs 400; MAYIBUYE 51 vs 141; SACP 46 vs 112; DKRM 25 vs 97; UAT 25 vs 56; MKP 19 vs 68; NCC 12 vs 19; SADA 11 vs 28; ACP 6 vs 11; PEP 5 vs 14; SAMEBA 5 vs 19; VF PLUS 5 vs 15; ACDP 4 vs 17; APC 2 vs 6; PA 2 vs 6; AZAPO 1 vs 3; BPSA 1 vs 6; BTW 1 vs 3; A.C.C. 0 vs 1; AHC 0 vs 2; ATM 0 vs 4; DOP 0 vs 3; DRA 0 vs 1; FISA 0 vs 4; IFP 0 vs 4; MCM 0 vs 1; US 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 95 times in 6 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: Makhuduthamaga's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
