About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 4 524 · spoilt 67 · special votes 713 · All 7 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 7 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 7 voting districts here (4 540 of 8 585). The IEC publishes 53.0%.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 30 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 3 695 vs 10 889; EFF 245 vs 750; DA 189 vs 645; MKP 150 vs 450; ActionSA 68 vs 231; VF PLUS 28 vs 89; SACP 24 vs 85; MAYIBUYE 18 vs 53; APC 12 vs 37; ATM 10 vs 39; SDP 4 vs 13; PAC 3 vs 4; AUM 2 vs 5; DCM 2 vs 8; URF 2 vs 5; COPE 1 vs 3; TWMP 1 vs 2; ACDP 0 vs 46; AEF 0 vs 6; BLOM 0 vs 5; BRA 0 vs 2; GAZA 0 vs 2; GAZANKUL 0 vs 4; GJDP 0 vs 2; IFP 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 2; PA 0 vs 1; SAHRA 0 vs 1; SUN 0 vs 1; UAT 0 vs 24. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 108 times in 7 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: Bushbuckridge's DC 40% result.

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