About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 271 · spoilt 69 · special votes 233 · All 12 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 12 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 12 voting districts here (3 271 of 7 927). The IEC publishes 41.4%.
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 38 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 759 vs 5 239; SACP 416 vs 1 146; EFF 374 vs 1 142; DA 217 vs 676; ActionSA 136 vs 411; MSM 111 vs 361; UAT 81 vs 238; VF PLUS 20 vs 46; BVP 17 vs 45; PAC 16 vs 39; MKP 12 vs 33; COPE 7 vs 16; ACDP 5 vs 34; ECOFORUM 4 vs 16; KCDP 3 vs 4; PA 3 vs 7; A.S 2 vs 19; BTW 2 vs 5; MAGAENG 2 vs 6; MOSHABI 2 vs 3; AL. 1 vs 3; BOSA 1 vs 4; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 6; SCP 1 vs 3; ACP 0 vs 2; AHC 0 vs 19; AIC 0 vs 14; ALJAMA 0 vs 2; ATM 0 vs 4; AZAPO 0 vs 6; BPSA 0 vs 1; DOP 0 vs 12; IFP 0 vs 3; MIV 0 vs 3; Civic Warriors 0 vs 2; RISE 0 vs 2; RUA 0 vs 2; UPPA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 201 times in 12 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: Polokwane's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
