About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 4 128 · spoilt 39 · special votes 1 008 · 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 (4 135 of 7 695). The IEC publishes 53.9%.
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 2 655 vs 7 956; EFF 746 vs 2 167; SACP 267 vs 803; DA 153 vs 500; ACDP 49 vs 116; UAT 36 vs 105; ActionSA 32 vs 121; MKP 26 vs 79; GJDP 21 vs 51; MAYIBUYE 20 vs 86; PAC 17 vs 28; URF 13 vs 31; DCM 12 vs 34; VF PLUS 12 vs 41; GAZA 11 vs 22; APC 10 vs 44; GAZANKUL 6 vs 9; COPE 3 vs 7; AEF 0 vs 3; ATM 0 vs 14; AUM 0 vs 3; BLOM 0 vs 1; BRA 0 vs 6; BTCP 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 2; NFP 0 vs 3; PA 0 vs 7; SAHRA 0 vs 1; SUN 0 vs 1; TWMP 0 vs 4. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 125 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.
