About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 1 871 · spoilt 25 · special votes 615 · All 1 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 1 voting district; 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 1 voting district here (2 188 of 5 416). The IEC publishes 40.4%.
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 25 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): SACP 608 vs 1 667; ANC 416 vs 1 640; LABOUR 157 vs 307; EFF 151 vs 460; MKP 149 vs 267; DA 124 vs 370; MAYIBUYE 48 vs 132; TRA 35 vs 130; UAT 33 vs 74; IFP 29 vs 85; Success African Movement 27 vs 69; AZAPO 19 vs 47; ATM 18 vs 89; VF PLUS 15 vs 251; BLM 6 vs 27; PAC 6 vs 49; BPSA 3 vs 6; URP 2 vs 13; ACDP 0 vs 3; APC 0 vs 3; BOSA 0 vs 1; BRA 0 vs 2; LUM 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 3; TFSD 0 vs 1. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 24 times in 1 voting district. 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.
