About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

special votes 18 911 · All 307 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)

In local elections the IEC adds votes across the ward, PR and district ballots, so we show valid votes per ballot instead of one "votes cast" total.

Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 307 voting districts here (176 576 of 383 559). The IEC publishes 46.4%.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 1 641 times in 45 wards. 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 ward's own page lists the IEC's figures.

Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.

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