About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 3 577 · spoilt 129 · special votes 971 · 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 (3 584 of 7 744). The IEC publishes 46.4%.

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.

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 2 500 vs 7 561; EFF 465 vs 1 390; DA 171 vs 461; MKP 95 vs 258; ATM 59 vs 171; APC 37 vs 126; SACP 27 vs 75; ActionSA 20 vs 56; DCM 20 vs 50; UAT 15 vs 35; MAYIBUYE 13 vs 38; COPE 10 vs 21; VF PLUS 7 vs 22; PAC 4 vs 7; LABOUR 2 vs 4; SDP 1 vs 2; TWMP 1 vs 2; URF 1 vs 6; ACDP 0 vs 23; AEF 0 vs 5; AUM 0 vs 4; BLOM 0 vs 1; BRA 0 vs 1; BTCP 0 vs 2; GAZA 0 vs 2; GJDP 0 vs 1; NFP 0 vs 3; Mahlo People’s Movement 0 vs 7; PA 0 vs 1; SAHRA 0 vs 3. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 104 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.
