About these figures
Notes on the IEC's figures for this page
Votes cast 3 661 · spoilt 33 · special votes 996 · 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 (3 692 of 6 731). The IEC publishes 54.9%.
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 29 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 1 565 vs 4 697; DA 1 376 vs 4 092; SACP 261 vs 771; ActionSA 167 vs 491; EFF 141 vs 458; UAT 26 vs 80; SDP 22 vs 64; MKP 18 vs 50; AUM 12 vs 49; URF 11 vs 38; DCM 10 vs 17; APC 9 vs 32; BTCP 2 vs 4; COPE 2 vs 8; TWMP 2 vs 4; GJDP 1 vs 2; LABOUR 1 vs 3; MAYIBUYE 1 vs 6; VF PLUS 1 vs 9; ACDP 0 vs 6; AEF 0 vs 18; ATM 0 vs 8; BRA 0 vs 8; GAZA 0 vs 1; GAZANKUL 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 3; PA 0 vs 2; PAC 0 vs 1; SAHRA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.
Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 98 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.
