About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 1 270 · spoilt 38 · special votes 157 · All 2 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 2 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 2 voting districts here (1 268 of 3 786). The IEC publishes 33.5%.

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 27 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 296 vs 957; LABOUR 222 vs 433; SACP 160 vs 473; EFF 159 vs 496; Success African Movement 124 vs 393; DA 109 vs 357; TRA 68 vs 203; BLM 27 vs 52; MAYIBUYE 19 vs 73; MKP 15 vs 39; ATM 12 vs 36; IFP 12 vs 32; VF PLUS 4 vs 18; AZAPO 2 vs 12; PAC 1 vs 2; URP 1 vs 13; ACDP 0 vs 1; APC 0 vs 7; BOSA 0 vs 2; BP 0 vs 2; BPSA 0 vs 1; DBP 0 vs 2; LECOMA 0 vs 2; LNGM 0 vs 2; LUM 0 vs 1; PA 0 vs 3; UAT 0 vs 8. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 39 times in 2 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.
