About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 2 459 · spoilt 33 · special votes 357 · All 4 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 4 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 4 voting districts here (2 459 of 4 698). The IEC publishes 52.5%.
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 28 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 012 vs 3 013; DA 296 vs 882; EFF 271 vs 805; SACP 271 vs 940; URP 166 vs 527; TRA 151 vs 428; TFSD 72 vs 140; BLM 38 vs 73; Success African Movement 34 vs 108; VF PLUS 24 vs 74; UAT 20 vs 54; MKP 17 vs 51; BPSA 14 vs 26; PAC 12 vs 37; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 24; IFP 8 vs 13; ATM 5 vs 26; LABOUR 4 vs 8; AZAPO 2 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 6; APC 0 vs 5; BOSA 0 vs 2; BP 0 vs 1; DBP 0 vs 1; FISA 0 vs 1; LNGM 0 vs 2; LUM 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 83 times in 4 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: Thabazimbi's DC 40% result.
Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
